This time my E Trac was smoking hot and finds just kept popping up, Often small items from 12 to 18" down into the old beach base. Nine earrings!! No value but that must be some sort of record for a hunt. Two rings. One stainless CTR and one 925 with 2 stones and 1 missing. The brass bracelet was all stiff and caked in black stuff but has cleaned up reasonably well and is complete. A good 18" down too. $2.70 in cash. All good fun. More pics on my blog.

Yes it is quite a tidy little ring. Thought I might see what it would cost to replace the imitation diamond. Mind you I think the whole ring is only about $150 these days. MK
