Hi All,

While hunting a  school Pete found in La Puente, I found a long strip of lawn that seemed to be producing lots of coins, and about an hour into the hunt I got a nice quarter read and up popped the larger silver ring, then about an hour later I found the smaller silver ring in the same area. 

We broke for lunch and I asked Pete to think of a place to go on the way home so we could use up the remaining sunlight so we went to a middle school near his house, after suiting up we headed to the field and the second target was the really nice 14k gold mens ring with what appears to be 5 diamonds. I'll still need to get those tested, but they sure look good.  I ended the day with over $30 in coins and these 3 beauties plus some other various trinkets.

Thanks to Pete for picking some GREAT hunting spot and also a great big thanks to Pat Rich and Wayne Burke for tolerating me finding most of the good stuff for the day.

Well I went with my buddy Pete to Huntington beach today, and his luck must have rubbed off on me, after about 2-3 hours I decided to hit the shallow water and found this really nice heavy mens paltinum wedding band with 8 1/8 carat diamond, it weighs in at 14.3 grams.

My family an I spent the week at the beach and I had a few opportunities to hunt the local beaches, I found a total of 7 rings and a few realy nice silver pieces.

I also found a total of about $43 for the week and lots of the typical beach toys and trinkets.

I went to a local school today (07/10/2011) with a couple of Club members.  My focus was on finding as much clad as possible to finally get the $100 gate bar, but I found some interesting jewelry in the process.  At top is a 1988 $1000 peso coin from Mexico; it's no longer legal tender and even if it was, due to the conversion of the peso in 1992 and the current exchange rate, it would be worth only $0.08. 

Below the coin and to the left is a 2.0g sterling silver ring (missing gem), then a 2.8 10K gold ring with 22 small gems (diamonds, I hope!), and a costume cross (gold-plated copper?).  At the bottom are an incomplete medical tag and a little costume fleur-de-lis pendant.

All told, I found $15.75 in 5 hours, including 45 quarters.  One of my partners got $19 and the other "did pretty well" so we did alright overall.
