My heart stopped, but reality set in......

[Diggin Dude]

Hello everyone,

I'm going to lump Thursday, Friday New Jersey beach hunts and today New York beach in this post.

But I will start with today, nearly had a heart attack when I saw the ring in my scoop, Big gold with diamonds but then I rinsed it in the water and it said 925 China CZ. Silver ring with cubic zirconia. Still a nice find, I guess it's gold-plated over solid 925 silver. Also found a toy car and a bunch of clad sorry no photos of the car gave it to a kid on the beach and the trash I threw out.

On Friday I found a silver Mercury dime on a New Jersey beach 1939 it was a nice surprise, also lots of clad and toy cars.

On Thursday at a New Jersey beach I found toy cars, costume kids jewelry ring, cell phone that I was able to put on the charger call the last caller and return it to its owner.

Overall it has been fun hunting salt water beaches for the first time while I was on vacation last week and today. I still have a lot to learn about hunting beaches.



Enjoy the photos and happy hunting!

If that big honker was made for a woman, it must have been Ronda Rousey's! That is one menacing looking ring!

DIGGING DUDE YOU MAY HAVE BEEN FOOLED , BUT I HAVE TO SAY THAT RING IS COOL. RING HAS A WEIRD SETTING BUT IS STILL A NICE FIND.

I have a pile of "heart stoppers" turned "heart breakers".

Nothing like the super "high" then super "low" let down rollercoaster ride.

BUT... At least it is silver ... Errr I hope it is anyway... the "China" always scares me.

That is one chunky bling ring! Congrats!
Those first few seconds are a real alpine high! You're brain is going OMG!!! LOOK WHAT I FOUND!!! Then dang reality pipes up with "no you didn't, look at that thing!"
I know the feeling....

Any day Diggin Dude we are going to score the real deal! So practice your happy dance you'll be needing it!

Merc is an awesome find! Congrats!

I'm beginning to wonder if they are using these giant CZ rings a brass knuckles?

 

[park pirate]

Thanks for the words of encouragement ! Right back at you. Funny comment ... About the brass knuckle reference , good thing my wife only likes real diamonds, I can't afford the big ones like those CZ's those would leave quite a large scar! [emoji79]

Must confess pirate , I did check my shorts after the find.......... All clear [emoji54]

Nicely done Dude,
I don't think I have ever recovered a mercury at the beach.
Those Gold plated Silver rings are heart stoppers but the high pitch or numbers are the give away. Congrats on some cool finds.
