Gold Quinceanera Bracelet

[DrJoePrime]

Well, this is getting almost ridiculous....almost.

I went back to dog beach and this time brought the Big scoop. It was a beautiful day and the detecting was slow but interesting anyway. We are pretty lucky living in California. I ws digging quite a few deep coins and also the deep iron. A piece of junk jewrly that I'm keeping...just in case. Then a super loud "good" signal. It was only down about 4". It's a purple ring with a stone. Yep..I could make out the 925. Silver!

I didn't need any more after that ...it's a nice ring (being cleaned). I still had enough energy but was thirsty. I'll have to not forget my water fix. I decided to head back taking a higher line on the beach but still in the wet sand. A nice signal and from about 6" deep came this yellow fishing lure. I took it out of the scoop and noticed there were a lot of detail for a fishing lure. Then a closer look revealed it as part of a quinceanera bracelet and it sure looks like Gold! I spent a good twenty minutes looking for the other half but with no luck.

Well my thirst got the better of me and I decide to head for a water fountain on the way to my car. That water was good ... almost as good as having a new piece of gold in my pocket (plus a silver ring). The gold is 4.56 grams but unmarked. It does have a name and a date engraved and I'll be trying to find the owner. She'd be 26 years old by now.

Nice find.

Here's the Silver ring. It looks like my eyes deceived me because it actually says STERLING. I'm not sure if the engraving is the makers mark or personalized. It looks like "BARBIE I M". Any ideas?

Nice find. 15 year old Spanish girls have a big celebration party as do our Sweet 16 girls.

I would bet it's gold......otherwise I would think it would be corroded.... unless it was dropped in the last week or so.

Nice finds! Good luck tracking down the owner of the bracelet. Here they go so overboard with those parties. The parents are spending as much money on them as most people spend on a "lavish" wedding. Crazy. We had to buy my son a tuxedo when we first got here because he was being invited to so many of them and a shirt and tie was just not cutting it.

I don't even own a tuxedo.
