FINALLY....14 K at wet slope low tide

[lorraine]

Hi,

I've been soooooooo busy taking care of Hank after his carpal tunnel release surgery last week, so haven't had much computer nor beach time....until today

I'll be checking out all your treasure finds a little at a time; love to see the beauties that you all find.

Hank is doing very well, and I didn't do too badly at the beach today , either.

Got to the beach 2 hours pre-low tide and did some dry sand ,then followed the wet slope down to shoreline. Hunted 1 1/2 hours in cloudy, but mild weather.

This ring gave the lowest sound that I have heard from gold in a long time; usually the tone I hear is mid-low, but this one was unmistakable ....and so focused in that wet sand about 8" deep.

Here's some pics
Thanks for looking

Congrats Lorrnine, is that a red ruby? Very nice!!

Thank you , slider66. I think the stone is "rubellite" ( tourmaline)....it resembles this stone from my Gemstone reference book.

GREAT FIND! Hope Hank's carpal tunnel was due to metal detecting!!

Thanks, Sponge

Hank is experiencing his golfing vicariously on Golf Channel these days; how about that Bubba finish yesterday!

Awesome hunting,looks like it's been there for a while

Probably the low tone was due to the poor/broken solder joint. I've had broken bands sound scratchy, even on bigger rings.

Excellent find, Lorraine. Praying for a complete recovery for Hank from the carpal tunnel release. I had one last July, but waited too long to see the doctor and have some damage that won't get any better. He couldn't have a better nurse than you and hope he gets back to golfing soon. I wish that was a beautiful ruby in the ring, but you take what the water gives you and a 14K ring is wonderful. GL & HH.
