Four gold and a platinum in one day....:headbang: I don't post my finds very often, but I have not had a day like this for a long time!

The Russian ring ( I think) is marked 583 without the hammer and sickle. The craftsmanship on this ring is amazing it has 26 small diamonds? around the top and 1 in each of the double headed eagles claws.
It would appear that it is two rings soldered together as you can see through the scrolling.
Platinum is 999 a first for me I have found 950 and 900.
One of the other three gold rings is marked 916 (22K) The others have Asian marks on them.
All found in the water, with blue excalibur

Thanks for looking
Terry.

That is a real nice sailing operation you got going there buddy, congratulations on some amazing finds, and i wish you continued succes! Better get those broken detectors fixed, you just gota have a back up. Keep us posted.
Thanks procali..there are days when I think, what the hell am I doing on this boat but when I find bling like that it all disappears.
I will be traveling to the med next month ( by air ) so will send them to minelab in Ireland.
Are you detecting on the pacific coast?

Here's another close up of both..I'm not sure which one he was referring too. The 22k one could have a yellow sapphire, it would be strange to have glass in such a big chunk of gold.
I removed my smelly chewing gum:laughing7: from the top of the Russian ring and covered it with paper, which looks more respectful. Under that are some gold initials inlaid into what looks like onyx.

That's a beauty for sure. Just one question-why cover up the top of the ring?
So some scammer doesn't claim it's his.......
Hi there, fellow Mopar maniac!

Amazing

All I can say is WOW! Beautiful rings! :thumbsup:

I've found many breath taking jewelry in my time and I must agree 110% with you when you say the workmanship on the ring with the stone is amazing. Someone is kicking dirt :BangHead:after they lost that one. Keep up the great finds.:icon_thumright:
