Well My buddy Mel and I went to a local swimming hole last week and found some great rings and some clad. The 1st day I found 2 junk rings with nice stones and about 4.00 clad. The next day I went back early and there was not anyone swimming so i was able to check out some better holes. the first ring was a James Avery 18K and sterling with a blue stone, the second was an Avery love knot Sterling. and the other 2 rings are sterling very large mans rings and about a metal dog tag and over $13.00 clad. It was a Great day at the old swimming hole...

Yes I am a Jeweler 2 are Junk with glass stones. all the others are .925 and 1 is 18k and sterling. the stone is a blue topaz. all found with a Fisher 1280 x.
 

Very nice :icon_thumleft:

Take care of that shoulder.
 

Great stuff man....I know those swimming holes produce ALOT of garbage..So for you to pull out all that, was pretty damn good

Glad to see I'm not the only one out here in the 100+ degree weather look for goodies :thumbsup:

I did not picture ALL the garbage i pulled out also. I would have had to use a wide angle lens :laughing7:
 

Lots of swimming holes to choose from there! Do people still slide down the dam in outside of Hunt? I always thought there had to be a bunch of stuff in that area!

Yes it is the Ingram dam. They still slide down, and about once a year someone dies from hitting their head.....They drained it last winter but we were too late there was 3 guys finding everything. then they filled it back up. But next time ill be there!!!
 

Next time they drain it, I want to be there, too!! I know the folks that own the Dam Store and used to spend every summer at their camp. Love that area! HH
