Hi :hello2:

42*, sunny with mild wind at the beach today...just great for detecting! :icon_sunny:

Nice low tide let me get out further past the old pier than usual .

Wasn't finding much around the pier, so I did the next best thing..I went directly under the pier.

Found the silver ring under the pier in very rocky area that is usually filled with sand.

This ring I believe is very old...it did not have the usual gray encrusted tarnish on it, but rather it had a brownish covering on it...as if it was rusted..there is a marking inside the band, but difficult to read, so I tested it with silver test kit ...positive for silver.

The other ring is ? titanium ? SS ....I'm not sure of those metals.

The silverplated spoon ( Embassy Co . "bouquet " pattern) was manufactured in 1939; it's in better condition than most of the silver plated spoons that I have found .

Here's pics

As always, thanks for taking the time to look at my finds

Lorraine

Thank you, Jonnie

I scrubbed the spoon with baking soda mixed with a little Tarn-X.

This spoon was easier to clean than others that I have attempted to salvage.

nice job cleaning your finds. If you get a real low tide and the rocks are showing , turn them over and look under them . I will bet you will find allot more keepers. HH

Thank you, everyone for your kind words; encouragement to continue in this interesting, fun in the sun ( and sometimes snow /ice) hobby :icon_sunny:

Warmed up to 40* now...time to get some fresh air and exercise at my favorite beach. :headbang:

Do you hunt in the water or beach? How deep in water? What do you do with titanium rings?

Lorrain,
You are brave to MD in that cold, I would be frozen. It got down to 56 here and I am freezing. It must be because I have lived here so long and used to the warm all year weather. Anyways, grats on all the finds. Keep it up.

Mostly I hunt in wet sand on the slope and "muddy flats" at low tide all year 'round; in the heat of summertime , sometimes I go into the water up to the hip mounted GT unit ; my last choice of hunting is dry sand if I'm there at high tide .

Titanium rings ..I keep in a box..sometimes I sell them ; otherwise, I don't know what to do with them.
