2013 Hunt#27 Mission Bay,chest deep during low tide ,Gold#11

Heya,
I rushed to the beach right after work to catch the low tide as i really wanted to go deep.
I have found so far about 5 rings from below low tide mark at mission bay, so wanted to continue search there, unfortunately i get about 1 hour before i have to leave the area as its about half a meter of water every hour after tide is coming.

My efforts were not Fruitless ! :-) and i got this  pitch black 9ct old signet ring :

And that is after cleaning :


The rest of finds (+ full pouch of rubbish) -1$ and two 50c were found at wet sand on the way back - i didnt do much of it as we cleaned Mission bay on monday


Thanks for stopping by! :-)

  1. Congrats Midas!

    When you "go deep" is it chest, shoulder, neck? And do you wear a weight belt?
