A Little Silver + Some Big FOOL'S Gold
Had a great hunt this afternoon in the wet sand. Some small cuts and erosion here and there. One of those days where you don't travel to far and work a small area. I've found a few Claddagh rings but this is my first Claddagh Cross...The silver ring is really old and crusty even after cleaning. It is stamped 925 with a makers mark and size stamped 8...A nice large St. Christopher medal with a surfer on the back. Also found a couple of small Russian coins and the Econo Wash token. The car wash doesn't exist anymore and the token has become a bit of a collectible, according to Google. Last but LEAST is the FOOL'S Gold. My first 14K 28g Italian chain found in high surf last Wednesday. I was soooo stoked, called my wife from the beach, guess what I found! When I got home did the scratch/acid test for 14K just to be sure tested for 10K drove down the gold buyer jeweler, thought my testing acid had gone bad, have them check it so it's a really nice looking stamped 14K Italian fake chain. Anyway I had three hours of euphoria and I will find a real one someday. Good luck out there..
