Popular Post LawrencetheMDer Posted January 15 Popular Post Share Posted January 15 Conditions for beach hunting on the west coast of Florida are challenging right now. They’re pretty BAD. Cold, dreary and rain, no one is going to the beach. No Donors. Haven’t even seen that many Detectorists – that is how bad it is. None-the-less, I pulled this beauty out of dry sand on a near deserted beach. Marked “AU 750” and “T & Co.”, this 18k beauty fits my wife perfectly. Gone! Looked up on Tiffany site and retail listing is a cool $1,200! Funny thing, when I first found it, I thought it said “Sterling 925”; the lettering was real small...it was gray and dreary out. Figured it was gold plated. Got home and with loop discovered the real identity of the little treasure. At 3.09g the ring rang up a “23” on the Manicore (Beach deep, extra boost, Separation “4”, Sensitivity 32, Noise cancel, ground balanced). Happy Hunting 27 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compass Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 It's always a bonus to get home and find out that your finds are better than you first thought. In this case, much better! Congrats!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are absolutely correct, not much to be found unless your name is okara gold. 😄 I'm going to try again Thursday. Very nice score on the Tiffany. She's happy!

I have been a painting contractor for 32 years and now do just a few jobs by word of mouth. So, the only thing swinging lately is a paint brush. 😭Stay tuned!!

Funny, I live in a deed restricted community where the powers to be in the HOA decided last week that they would sweep all 240 houses for code violations. Mine? Need a paint job according to them. Ha! I went to the beach last Thursday for 4 hours. Stayed dry...it was cold. Found 2 junk earrings and a junk pin. Yay! Go Bucs! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
