Morning Hunt

[Jackpine]

I hit the water early again this morning to see what the weekend crowd might have left.  Targets were sparse with 2 bling earrings  and the nemesis of water hunters in a Tungsten ring.  At 17.7 grams I can understand why it flew off the wearers finger, would have made a nice chunk'O gold. ?

I have started to pass up the new bottle caps.  Have not dug a one that didn't bounce erratically reading Iron/15-21 or there about.

They look nice but those tungsten carbide rings are annoying. I can't help thinking "platinum!" when I dig one and feel the weight, but then the truth is revealed. 

Still, jewelry found!!

Ive dug 6 stainless rings this year.  The first few made me excited thinking they were gold, now I just expect to find disappointment. 

I was in Wal-Mart last night and they have a large collection of SS rings.  Prices go all the way up to just over $100.  Some of the high priced ones have a wide "gold" section around the outside of the ring which is VERY attractive and others had small "diamonds" embedded on the outside.  Finding gold rings may become as scarce as finding a stack of silver dollars with an equinox ?

They are so ubiquitous that when I saw that white gold ring in my scoop Friday, I thought crap not another one.

Here's an ironic twist -- you know those ads on the top and sides of the forum?  One just showed up for silicone wedding bands.  You probably think I'm kidding (wish I were) but you'll see them pretty soon, I suspect.  I guess they're not selling enough breast implants anymore and they've got to make their money somehwere.  At least (if really silicone) they won't trigger our detectors!
