In the blistering heat of a scorching 94F (34C) day, I set out on an adventure to a renowned river, famous for its thrilling tubing experiences. The anticipation fueled my excitement as I plunged into the refreshing waters precisely at 8 am. Little did I know that this day held remarkable surprises just beneath the river's surface, waiting to be discovered.

The moment I submerged myself, an array of targets beckoned me, promising hidden treasures. Without wasting any time, I readied my metal detector and eagerly embarked on my first excavation. As I dug into the rocky riverbed, a glimmer caught my eye. It wasn't just any ordinary quarter—it was a hidden gem, tarnished by time, yet brimming with history.

My brother joined me on this thrilling escapade, fueled by my promise that we were both destined to uncover majestic gold rings. Although luck evaded us in that regard, fate smiled upon us in a different way. The riverbed yielded its secrets, rewarding our efforts with a delightful assortment of rings. My brother unearthed a charming child's silver ring, while I stumbled upon an intriguing unmarked ring, its mystery captivating my imagination. The Equinox 800 erupted with excitement, registering a VID of 8, hinting at the possibility of a precious gold ring— but it looks to be titanium with its value known only to the river's ancient currents.

Yet, the most electrifying moment of the day awaited us, as if the river sensed our fervor for adventure. In a dazzling turn of events, my brother experienced the ultimate find of the day. Emerging from the depths, he triumphantly unveiled a mesmerizing Gucci g-timeless gold bee dial watch, a timepiece that boasted a staggering retail price of $1200. The sheer thrill of this discovery sent shivers down our spines, igniting our passion for the art of treasure hunting.

As the scorching sun continued to bear down upon us, we reveled in the exhilaration of our finds. Each discovery carried with it a story, a piece of history intertwined with our own, forever etched in our memories. The river, once merely a playground for tubers, had transformed into an enchanting realm of hidden riches and exhilarating surprises.

With the taste of adventure still lingering on our lips, we bid farewell to the river, but not without a promise to return. Armed with our metal detectors and fueled by the excitement of the unknown, we embarked on future quests, ready to unravel the secrets that lay buried beneath the earth's surface. And so, our journey as treasure hunters continued, driven by the never-ending thrill of the hunt, forever chasing the euphoria that awaited us beneath the scorching sun.

Unfortunately I don't have a photo of the front of the watch, but it's nice!

Very Cool!!! Congrats!!!
 

Great hunting! Love the bee watch. Grogu too! So many batteries/vapes too.

Those RC batteries are in everything these days. Idk how much it really matters, but I always dispose them at the recycling center instead of tossing.

Thanks! The watch is really nice, it was a good find my brother made. All our trash metal makes its way to salvage. There were a total of 11 vapes found that day.
 

Nice finds looks like you had a busy day
