It was time for a hunt ... but I've done that each of the last few nights.  Last night's hunt was better on the counts but it came up a bit short on the value.

The first ring of the night I thought was my best until the next morning.  I was finally able to read a 14kt GF.  Bummer.  It came in as a 21 so I'm not too surprised.

Some of the other rings.  An odd mix.  The one missing the 'stone' is silver.

Here are more pictures of the loot.

The bottom of the aluminum can above was found down over 20 inches.  I hate those digs but they sound so good.

I've also included some pictures of previous hunts just to show the difference in nights.

This last tray includes 3 rings and of note was one of my best 'spoon rings' ever.  What is a spoon ring you say?  It was once a silver spoon that was chopped off at the end and shaped into a ring.  Notice the overlapping design which would allow for some adjustment and expansion.

Very good hunt with some hard work to get it.

I have seen some old rings that says 14kt GF that were not gold filled. Those were from the 60's and before, so it depends on how old it is. Don't write it off just yet as one that is not of good value.

Good luck on your next outing.

Some cool looking finds Mitchell - congrats! I've been out the last few nights as well and am feeling it today. I'm hoping that hurricane Kay shakes the local beaches up this week!

I was feeling it last night and couldn't make it out.  It was time to recharge my battery.  One night this week I was out and I killed the 800 battery but that was after 3 sessions.
