Ring ring.....

[mumszie]

We had another good morning today. I planned on hunting mainly in the water while my daughter would stay in the dry sand. She had the best day she has had so far! She found 2 hotel trays, a small boogie board, a handful of clad AND she found a SILVER British Half Crown. I looked it up on the internet it is a 1942 coin and is silver. Whoooo hooooo! Good going Andie!

My hunt did not start off so good. I was getting absolutely NO hits whatsoever. Well that is not quite true. I did get one penny and one hairpin. **sigh** So I decided to come out of the water and hunt dry sand for a while so I could go home with at least a few coins. It's a good thing I did! I ended up with a few coins and not one but two rings! YEAH BABY! TWO RINGS. The first one "looks" gold and when I first saw it I though I had ICE too. But... that was not to be. What looks like diamonds is just tiny silver looking things. Inside the ring it is stamped 925 on one side and China on the other side. So is it silver? I don't know. It is a gold color but with the 925 stamp inside I guess it's silver

The other one really rang off! I thought WOW this is a silver ring. NOPE - no markings at all in this one. Plus the silver is wearing off in a few places so it is just a pos ring but what the hay..... I like it anyway.

I also found a fork, probably from one of the hotels, a towel, a few plastic toys, a Canadian quarter and a total of 17 cents in clad. I'll take it! I'm happy.

excellent job last couple hunts Mumszie ...... if you find 2 rings every time you go out...we wont be able to find any lol....... if I am not mistaken if it is marked .925 and is gold colored it is "vermeil"...meaning gold over silver.....someone correct me if I am wrong

very cool day indeed. Does the half crown have we writting around the rim? I found an english pound once, my favorite coin so far and it had writting around it. I love the way they make thier coins.

the 925 china is -- sterling silver with a gold elecro plating type over coating (chinese made)*

the other is most likely a chrome plated pos ring --- thus silver colored and it "looks like" silver but its not.

but hey the ones silver after all.
