This is what I've found the last few weeks! 18k ring with mysterious stone! Had the local jeweler test the stone, every other time it would beep as if it were a diamand also would climb the scale slowly. He said I should send it into be spectragraphed! Because if it was a diamond it would be of great value! 14k white gold ring, 10k class ring (no name or initials), T&Co. silver ring, silver cross and coins! 18k and coins were found near the eroding dunes in dry sand (yep you bet I'll be pounding this secret spot :laughing7:)! The rest found in the water in the rocky bottom cuts. Whatever the 18k ring is my wife loves it! Now I've got the green light to T-hunt when ever I Want!(just about :wink:)

Awesome job and yes get it checked out I had a ring once that looked like a blue diamond and a friend of mine that owned a Jewelry store at the time told me the same thing if it had been real it would have been worth huge money......

Way to go, surfnturf! Looks like you're on a roll. Ran into you on the beach a few weeks back and that was the last time I found gold, been in a slump ever since. I think you may have stole my mojo! :icon_pirat:

Good to hear from you! It was great to bump into such a fine person from the Tnet family! Sorry you're in a slump. That will change soon! the 18k and silver coins were found at a different beach. The 14k, 10k, silver ring and cross I found where we had meet! Out in the water at chest deep got into a ripped cut with rocks showing on the bottom! Tryed to get out as much as i can because the sand is moving back in, I'm hunting mostly at night or when its been raining during the day. Trying to keep it low key and not pay for parking! :icon_pirat:
p.s I'll put the mojo back were I found it!!! ::) Your turn to post some of your goods :icon_thumright:

When you take it in to get tested tell them that you are thinking of selling it, that will peek there interest and they probable will appraise it for free for you!!! I have done it several times!!!! and you never know you may want to sell it after they tell you the value!!!

As for getting i back from your wife!!!!! GOOD LUCK!!!!! :laughing9: :laughing9: :laughing9:

Just a word of advice. Make sure when you get it appraised you can stay with the ring the whole time. A reputable appraiser will not have a problem with this.

GREAT FINDS!

Spend the Hamilton!

You find 18k in India also India has blue diamonds.

Get it checked, then get it on the banner, then get it insured!

Then go buy go buy yourself a new detector to celebrate!

Were they found that day? If not, persistence does pay off! As far as keeping low key, all the more reason why I like hunting off season, no parking fees, no crowds and less traffic. But on the other hand, depositors are out in force during the summer. That's when early mornings or rainy days come into play for me. Anyway, here's a pic of the two rings I found the day we met, one gold (14K, 3.3g) and one 925 silver. The silver looked like it had been there quite a while. I'm sure I'll run into you again one of these days. Until then HH. Oh, and thanks for giving me my mojo back, I see gold in my future (and hopefully yours, too). :icon_pirat:
