The sun isn't the only thing shining today; so is 18 K....( I got lucky again )

After some chores, decided to get out to the beach late morning .

Tide was coming in, so I hunted what remained of the muddy floor near the shoreline.


One of the first hits was a nice low sound, and out came a ring that is stamped 10 K, but it is so "shabby" looking, I seriously doubt that to be true, although two acid tests are + with a filing down...somehow this ring just does not look good to me...will take it to the jeweler to verify either way and repost results.

Would you believe I proceeded to take just 3 more steps in the mud before recovering the 18K ring.....nice low, solid, contained under the coil sound...couldn't miss that one.

Ring weighs 2.58 gms.

Here's some pics.

thank you for looking

Lorraine

Mighty fine 18k. Bet that baby is a one of a kind. Never seen art work like that before. Have it certified and let us know. Congrats. HH Pete
