Hi:hello:

Returned to the beach where I had found the trifecta silver the other day; thought maybe I might have missed other treasures...I was correct; found 14K gold ring & .925 interesting toe ring today.

Worked hard for these two: spent 2 3/4 hrs. listening to only kazoo sounds in the headphones, but kept at it, and although ready to call it quits I decided to do an additional section on wet sand slope...about a 10' x10' area....that's where I found the treasures in the remaining 15 ' of the hunt.

The (? brass) trio of owls I had found earlier in the week, but had them in olive oil to loosen bits of dirt; I think it is an antique attachment of some kind. :dontknow: It was in the thick mud amid rocks.

Lightweight( ? aluminum) ring has a Scripture verse inscribed on band.

Here's a link to the "boy/girl " silver toe ring for sale:

Here's some pics....thanks again for looking

Amazing that you were able to trace the origin of this item, Beachkid23; I tried for hours to trace it, but got nowhere.

I deeply appreciate that you took the time to research the item.

I just read up on the "Order of Owls"...very interesting group with noble causes.

I am so happy to have the mystery solved ,and I thank you for help me .

The one I found looks to be either gilded or just brass;

Following your link , I just found a site with the the exact pin that I have:

here's a link to the pic and info:

Well done, Lorraine. Guess I will have to learn to detect all over again if I don't get out soon. Beautiful day yesterday and today, but can't get far from home. HH.
