Even though I had a couple of good finds on the previous 2 hunts with an iPhone 13 and an Apple Watch Ultra, it’s not my main goal when I head out. Both the phone and the watch powered up nicely. Neither had return messages so they will be going up for sale and should bring in some decent 
.
Today, I headed out just over 2 ours before the 1pm low tide. My 1st good find just after 30 minutes was the fresh silver marked “950”. A very pretty ring I think. After about an hour into the hunt, I ran into a fellow pirate (PirateofallSeas), that is back from Europe on vacation and is here to plunder MY gold!
We had a nice chat before we both continued our hunts. At the 2-hour mark into the hunt, I get a low tone. When I looked in the scoop, I see a beautiful gold ring! However when I plucked it out, I was immediately suspect as it looked too perfect and was rather heavy. 
I didn’t see any markings and my thought was “tungsten carbide”. (I would confirm that about a half hour later, when I took it out, and was able to discern the “Tungsten Carbide” inscription). The next target after that ring about 2-3 minutes later was a very nice mid-tone on NuBlu. When I look in the scoop I saw 
**. There was no doubt on that one as I could see a marking on the inside and the weight and color were good. I would also take it out a bit later and notice that it was a class ring with a “91” on the side panel. Only my 3rd class ring ever.
When I got to the car, I saw with my loupe, “John F. Kennedy University”. There was also a name inscribed on the inside. This university was in California, as it is defunct since 2020. I have tried to find the owner on social media and sent out a few messages. I don’t know if this one is going to be able to make it back to its owner. It is marked 14K and weighs a surprising 7.3 grs. It is very top heavy. Another nice find were the Louis Vuitton sunglasses which I almost destroyed before realizing what I might be retrieving. 4 hours of hunting with few targets but at least I got the one that mattered.
