Popular Post mn90403 Posted November 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2020 We had a blow over the weekend and I was there. A huge cut was formed at the beach. I had new personal bests in total rings (10 for a day), gold rings (5) and quarters (64). I took a break to eat during the evening so I have two 'sessions' at the same beach. It was good enough to return with my sore back. It was a target rich environment. The total for all change was $24.03 which is also a personal high for change. I have found $20 bills on the beach in the past. These are the rings by session. More after I went back and the tide went out a bit than the first go. The L ring was the first ring I found it is 14k/3.2g. The other ring is 1.3g/18k. The green ring is 1.9g/14k. The black ring is 5.5g/titanium Legend of Zelda ring. The crusty ring is 3.5g/.925. The yellow stone ring is 3.8g/18k. This is a little 'old' ring and a cheap 'love' ring. The ring on the left is 16.9g/18k but I question it. The ring on the right is silver and is the last ring I found. The reason I 'question' it is that it had some green corrosion on it you can see in the first picture and now when I go to clean it the pocks appear even with the gold color. Perhaps that means it is a high copper ring? I also think it is 'old' but some of the edges don't look like it has worn that much in the wet surf/sand where I found it. Comments are welcome.

schoolofhardNox Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 What a hunt!!!!! I'm still looking over that yellow stone ring you found. Most times it's topaz or citrine, but I keep thinking it's yellow sapphire or if you feel real lucky .... yellow diamond. Just has that expensive look to it. I'd have that one checked out for sure. Super hunt, Congrats! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Beechnut OBN Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Heck of a day! Big Congrads !! On the 18k I've seen a few fakes similar in design, never seen a 18k that bad but that being said. With so many possibles conditions that can be encountered.... I would say its gold until you get it tested. Keep us informed, really be interesting to see if it is possible 18k could bleed copper like that..Seen 10k do that but not 14 up.. Thanks for sharing and get back out there! Wow! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvr Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Excellent. My back is sore thinking about the digging. Please do let us know results if you get the big one tested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe D. Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 That hunt is a 2020 winner! Great job! That ring looks like a copper alloy! It still may be old, even though not that worn! Let a jeweler test with a spectrum analyzer, when you take that other beauty to get the stone identified! Great Job!👍👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mn90403 Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share Posted November 10, 2020 Yes, I have a coin dealer that shoots my objects when I bring them in. I think the 18k stamp under without a trade name is indicative of the fake also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
