Thanks Joe, I'd feel better if we we had more of a swell but you never know. It will be fun to swing the BeachHunter again though!

Good catch!

Does lower concentration of gold in the alloy make it more likely that these jewelry pieces recovered from salt water?

Thanks GB, This was found in freshwater but my understanding is that the higher the gold content is, the more resistant to corrosion the piece will be. Much of the 10K gold I have found in freshwater will be tarnished but usually not black like this was. The 10K I find at the beach often has a green patina buildup on parts of the ring.

14K and above usually holds up pretty well, even after decades in the water but I think the alloys used have a lot to do with it.
