Tiffany Saves The Last Hunt Of The Year

[Compass]

With the recent big surf and good lunar tides I thought that my last hunt of the year could be a good one. However, It wasn't looking too good after about 4 hours of detecting and I only had about a dozen or so coins when I scooped a darkened silver ring out of the wet sand. The "infinity" design prompted me to look inside the ring hoping to see what I did see- "Tiffany & Co.". Later I added another ring which I thought was silver but it turned out to be plated.

I looked up the ring on the Tiffany web site and was surprised at the retail price on these:

It was a nice way to end the year. Happy New Year everyone!

Thanks DWD! I do love to find gold but you are right- a silver Tiffany ring is often more valuable than a generic gold ring and T&Co is always a big hit with the girls in the family.

Congrats on the T&Co.  My daughter has one that I found last year and a bracelet that I found this year.  She goes through my finds with a fine tooth comb just in case i missed seeing the T & Co on it. LOL

My best Tiffany find was perhaps a bracelet with silver and pearls that I found in a street gutter when I was doing a lot of running.  Apparently someone had broken it getting in/out of their car and the string and pieces were not together.  I sent it to Tiffany to replace a couple of pearls and a $150 later I had a $900 bracelet.  The only thing 'bad' about them was the tumble their stock took this year.  I don't know if it recovered.

That was some sweet eyeball find! I didn't know that about their stock but it won't diminish my excitement when I find jewelry with their logo on it. Every piece of T&Co jewelry I have ever found cleaned up beautifully which I think speaks to the quality of their metals and craftsmanship.

Thanks DWD, I've been fortunate enough to find 1 platinum, 1 gold and 5 silver T&Co rings over the past 10 years- all but 1 in the wet sand. I also found a thin chain and heart T&Co silver bracelet but would love to find one of their heftier bracelets.

I saw those on the Tiffany website and was surprised what they were charging for them.
