Then earlier this week I got out to a popular drinking spot 20210711_125152.jpg20210711_125208.jpg20210711_125217.jpg20210711_125223.jpg

Very nice gold ring find! And I like that big horse conch. ��

Thanks steve...that horse conch was a size extra large !! Water has been outstanding down here !!
 

Beautiful gold ring Bart! That design with the diamonds has to be one of my favorite wedding bands.

Thanks joe.....it had been along time since I went for gold drops, so it was a welcome surprise....diamonds are always a bonus !!
 

All neat finds but I'm drawn to the lion fish ring the most...good hunts Bart!

Smallfoot ...I love that little ring !! That design reminds me of the dolphins I've seen on some bronze cannons from the 15-1600s !! New ring...classic old design !!
 

Sorry I missed this thread, Bart!
You are on fire this year! A huge congratulations on the bling and I love the bottles also.
 

Pete that one is called a horse conch....the queen conch is protected and illegal to capture live. Im allowed to take the queen conch shell if the animal is already dead and gone. I often see live queen conch that would be world record size if allowed to harvest !!

Thanks Bart. Not sure why I threw that out the when you even stated it was a horse conch.
That new expression comes to mind. "Too many sumpin sumpins must have crossed my wires?":laughing7:

And for some reason, with all you got in that haul, that lionfish ring caught me eye.
 

Mark...thanks buddy....glad you got out there and got some gold too.....next time I'm riding with you !!
 

Thank you WD....those bottles are not old, they are 60s 70s and one is a pepsi....these coral encrusted bottles sell faster than any others.....one of the fancy shell shops will buy my bottles and shells....he says the coral crusted bottles are one of his best sellers....he can't keep them on the shelf !!
 

Pete thanks my friend....very tiny but a very cool design....one of my favorite rings !!
 

If you dig enough trash eventually the treasure surfaces. Great job! Sometimes you just know it?s got be there. Love those channel diamond rings.
