Thought I was hallucinating when I saw this one in the scoop..haven't seen gold for

many a month!

Hi

Well, it goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway....I MISSED ALL OF MY FRIENDS FROM THE FORUM!!!

These past months have been very hectic for me, but things are "cooling down" , so I'm able to get out for some hunting now.

Went to a "not so favorite" beach this morning and hunted at high tide starting with dry sand and working on down to the wet as the tide slowly receded.

Found a very thin silver "Roosie"...good start; then about 20 minutes into the hunt, the GT gave off a medium, but solid and focused sound...wasn't sure about the signal..this beach has tons of sinkers , but I dig all and was glad I dug this one..a 10K nice looking class ring.

It's been a long time since I scooped up gold, and I was so pleased to have found this ring.

Looks like "83" in pic, but with loupe it is definitely "63".

Here's some pics; thanks for looking

It's great to be back!

Way to go, Lorraine! Could I ask what you cooked the ring in to get it so clean? I found an old class ring a few weeks back and I can't seem to get it that shiny. Thanks!

Hi Mi$ter G,

Here's my method:
I electrolyzed it in mixture of vinegar/ washing soda, and water; then I soaked it in Tarn-X and cleaned it with baking soda dipped in the Tarn-X; then I shined it with black chalk jewelers' rouge.

Beautiful finds Lorraine, and the Stainless ring - I'd be proud to find that, so congrats! It's good to see you back too.

And, thank you for posting your recipe, that will, I hope, come in handy

Glad you were able to get out and even happier that you found gold, Lorraine. I haven't been able to get out but an hour or two the last four months, but found a ring at the river Tuesday even tho I had a catastrophic leak with my chest waders and the legs filled up with water. Marked 10K and I meant to leave it in the Tarn X for 2-3 minutes and then try to clean it, but left if for 3 hours and it looks kind of ate up. I don't know if it's gold plated or the real thing, but will know by the time I get back to the library next week. Good luck & happy hunting. Hope your husband is fully recovered from his accident.
