I decided to go for a swish this morning as the weather person wasn't calling for crowds. I hit the only local place I have to swish at about 9:00 AM. The targets were sparce as I swished back and forth the beach going deeper with each pass. Quarter, dime, penny, penny, then my first ring, it looked similar to many junk rings I have found. I didn't give it much thought, but did stick it in a different pocket from the coins and junk. I came out for a little break after about an hour. Took the ring out of my pocket, I noticed that there was quite a bit of writing on the inside (a real good sign). It also seemed a little "brighter" than a normal silver luster, anyway not being able to read it till I got home and got a glass I put it back in my pocket, and continued for another hour and a half. Enough story, I'll let the pictures do the tellin'. I finally got my first GOLD of the year, 14K white gold. That's after at least 4,000 holes and a lot of junk, I sure did work for this one. Sure made my day, but I think I will dig a few more holes before the sun goes down. The swishing only produced 9 coins @ 1.74, not that that matters in the slightest right now. ONE HAPPY HUNTER, Rick Here is one more.
