Best finds from 6 years of hunting

Thought I'd post some nicer finds. Found these all over So. Ca. This first one is my favorite kids ring with a nice Big Faceted Red Ruby. 8)

Tried to find the owner of this ring, called and called as his name is on it, but he never answered. Will eventually pick up the trail again and find this guy as I'm sure this ring means way more to him than it does to me. Not gold, not silver, just some sort of magnetic metal. I think he must have lost it playing football soon after he got it.

14Kt Gold Chain Link bracelet 26 grams? I think.

Found this 20 Franc coin in one of the most unusual places, on the beach in great shape. Not sure how long it had actually been there, but this beach community would have been almost non-existant in 1891 (or you would have had to travel a long way by horse and wagon to get there). 8)

Hard to see, but this is a nice 14Kt ring with a large dark Blue Sapphire with three diamonds on each side. Another favorite! 8)

This one is another favorite- Owl with bright blue sapphire eyes. Kind of hard to see from this photo. 8)

The one on the right side is "the" controversial rose gold ring that I made so famous on TNet.
If your new, suffice it to say that this ring created alot of hassle for me when I asked a certain qustion about it.

"The" ring.

So far, I consider this my all around best ring and I was only out on my lunch hour in the middle of the winter when nobody would have been at the beach in the first place! Diamonds and a really nice unusual checkerboard/trillion combination cut on the Amethyst. 14 Kt.

Old Campbell's Soup Spoon found at the beach where I found the 1891 20 centimes coin. Different day.

Another very unusual find on a beach. A meteroite, found during the winter months when the sand is stripped from the beaches by the winter storms. 54.8 grams Measures about 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" x 3/4" thick.

Marc asked me to post some pics. I guess that's all for now. Still have alot more, but these are some of my favorites. We don't find much in the way of coinage out in So. Ca., but we make up for it in jewelry! A member of our club found a nice $3-4 K diamond ring this last month. We all were very jealous to say the least!! Sorry, no pics on this one.
