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! :-)
Congrats Midas!
ReplyDeleteWhen you "go deep" is it chest, shoulder, neck? And do you wear a weight belt?
I do not, as i do not have one yet- and i am really struggling.
