4 Gold Rings 1 Platinum Diamond ring & 28 Silvers

Mike and I have been itching to hit this private beach for a year now but never could get permission but by chance I caught a home owner home the other day and gained access for Friday. What a day, water was calm in the little cove and we took advantage of the lower then normal tide. Targets were deep and we did a long hunt for us..6 hours.. I could have stayed 12, but we did not want to over stay are welcome. Old class ring? I believe it is either 1916 or 1918... ...Another Beauty was the Ladies Platinum Diamond ring, Stones check out as Real...On leaving I thought I had 6 golds for the day but dag, one was 1/30 gold plated...EGP... Hoping we can get back again in September, and very thankful for the home owners kindness.

Mike was able to pull 3 walkers, several other silvers, and 1 14k.. A great day for all

Thanks for looking and Be Safe...

Very impressive finds indeed! Looks like the Class ring is engraved. It'd be an epic return too if you were able to get that ring back to next of kin :thumbsup: Looks like a woman's Class ring.

Holy Smokes! I don't know if I have seen that many silvers in 3 years. I know I haven't seen that much gold in 3 years!
