Had a little time and ambition after work today, so I returned to the beach where I had searched Sunday for a lost wedding ring.(Found six rings, but not the right one).
I gridded out the area as best as one can in chest deep water and pulled not one good signal(must have done a pretty good job Sunday).
Running short on time, I headed for shore in defeat.When I hit knee deep water, I veered left and followed the shoreline for a bit.I hit a big "high tone" and dug this bottle cap.....whoa!

A couple steps further and I got a broken nickle signal.
two big scoops down and out of the depths comes..... a nickle!

I fill in that hole, take a few more steps and get another broken nickle signal........two scoops.......and ..........Yeeeesss!

Although it is 10k, I believe the 14 stones are real...although low quality.Under magnification, a couple are milky and some inclusions are visible.(Too imperfect to be fake).
Shortly after....Lightning struck,,,and I headed out.

On the way home ,I stopped at Speedway for a coffee and upon checking my change found these two rosies.The newer one has a filled D and the date and motto are botched.

Not to shabby for a failed attempt....I think Ill keep looking for this ring ....its working well for me!
Best of luck to all......Joe

I think if I were you, I'd get myself a chain and wear that bottle cap around my neck while out detecting - that HAS to be a sign of good things to come if I've ever seen one!

Plus it makes for a hell of a good story!

If nothing else,it makes for a cool avatar!
 

Now that's one hell of a day! I'd keep that bottle cap super glued to me. Way to find the gold and silver!
 

Hope it's not an ex-wife! Congrats on a real pretty ring. I got a 10k ring awhile back with 72 diamonds, under magnification, they look like they went through a meat grinder. Nice post. Funny cap.

Great diamond ring, yes baby!! Congrats!
I would keep going back there.
She probably took it off up by her towel and it never was in the water.

Smiles!
