Went to the beach early on Wednesday morning for about 3 hours and pulled a few more goodies from the wet sand and light surf. The beach is recovering nicely after the hurricane. It's back to being steep from low tide line to high tide line again, instead of VERY wide. Found a few cuts at high tide line so started there with not much luck. Then moved down closer to the surf and began finding the goods. Came across a pirate buried in the sand, a couple silver trinkets, two 10k women's rings and a SS Army ring. No inscription on Army ring so no way to find the owner. What are these rings made out of? Doesn't look like silver or white gold. I would assume Stainless? Anyone know? Good luck to everyone!

Happy Hunting!

Great hunt...ring might be made out of celestrium, form of stainless. I posted one today that I found out is celestrium. Is resistant to all acid tests. Good finds!!

I think you might be right. I went to the Jostens website to see what metals they make rings out of, and celestrium was one of the choices. I think you nailed it! Thanks for the help.
