Monday the Deus sniffed out it's First Silver ring. Not especially deep at my local beach (Seal Beach, California)..it's a peace ring in 925 (remember "Ban the Bomb"?) So not my prettiest ring but it is Silver.
Today it was windy at Seal Beach. I felt foolish to endure the sand blasting. BUT I had no choice ...gotta feed the addiction. So I turned left instead of right at the blanket line and headed away from the more popular area. The main reason was that I've covered and covered that area over the past few weeks and I was thinking that the less explored parts might have a surprise or two. Picked up a few older clad and a few cents. Then, on the surface, a VDI of 80 (Zinc cent) did a double take and it was a yellow color stick up out of the dry sand. No scoop needed.
Did the drop test onto my left hand..Yep it's GOLD! With my glasses pushed up I could make out the 14K. So the story on this ring is that it goes to my new bride's son. Now the next one is mine.
Gotta LOVE this hobby...Yep gotta LOVE the Deus!
