Found a great ring!

[DoubleUgly]

Probably our best find here. My wife and I were walking from the parking lot at the beach out to the sand. We had only walked about 5 feet from the parking lot and my wife says "Hey, what's that?" I grabbed a little ring out of the sand. It was pretty poor looking and I wrote it off as junk jewelry. But, because it was metal, I took it to a friend of mine who has a jewelry store. He cleaned it up and had it to me the next day.

He says that the ruby is probably Burmese and itself is worth about $500. The gold is probably a melt down of other jewelry and hand poured into some sorta sand cast. Says it was probably kicking around in the sand for a couple of decades based on the tarnish and grit and other crap he found.

Cleaned up real nice, it did.

Thanks for all the positive feedback! I've long been interested in the hunting aspect of things, but this was my wife's find and seeing all the replies might just sway her to my side (my side being a new detector and some time to go hunting!) She wasn't even trying and she got lucky!
