I finally got into the water yesterday. The temperatures have been 95 degrees with a "Feel Like" temperatures of 105 degrees. Way too hot for me. Yesterday the temperature was 95 degrees with a "Feel Like" temperature of 95 degrees. Manageable. Especially since it is always cooler at the shore and definitely cooler in the water.
I spotted a new water hunter and greeted him with my usual, "How you making out?" He responded, "Penny Beach!!"
I found that funny because my hunting partner, "diggin brains" and I have nicknamed this spot, "Penny Beach"
The tide was going out and the water was pretty calm. The conditions were perfect. Now if only the targets would cooperate. And cooperate they did. Before the hunt was over, I recovered 5 rings. 1 - 14K gold Men's Wedding Band, 1 - .925 Silver Men's Band, 1- Stainless Steel Men's Wedding Band, and 2 junk rings. That is the highest number of rings I have ever found in a single hunt. Finding five rings reminded me of the OLYMPIC LOGO and that is why I asked, "IS WATER HUNTING AN "OLYMPIC SUMMER GAMES" SPORT??

You beat the heat and had some nice finds! Now that's the way to survive the hot weather and feed the hobby. Well done!
 

Congratulations ATW on the five ring beach bonanza! Gold and silver, yes. The silver ring looks like Celtic braiding, correct? Sub 8-)

I believe it is a close relative of synchronized swimming; We need to keep the coil and digging bucket in perfect synchronization for fast and productive recoveries. :icon_thumleft:

It does look old and was black when it came out of the depths. I still need to clean it up a little more. Do you recognize the Hallmark?

.
The pic of the 5 rings, laid out in the Olympic symbol....that would have been clutch.
 

I thought I commented but I don't see it. I must be losing it!

Nice save on the rings. Has to be more out there. I don't think you have the Olympic sport mastered until all 5 of your rings are gold! Keep it up!!
