White gold ring plus silver!

[Charles (Upstate NY)]

The local beach has been a case of the mumbles 8 out of 10 hunts with hordes of local and tourist people detecting the poor thing to death. So I fired up Google Earth and found myself my own private beach to hunt, well almost.

Tourist Tim ventured down onto the wet sand for an hour. He dug craters and left all his trash beside his craters for kids to step on GRRRRR, what a wanker. I picked up his trash and kicked sand in his holes less passers by thought I made that mess. I wanted to grab his detector and break it over my knee and toss his Home Depot flower garden shovel out in the surf! Fortunately Mr. Dung for brains went back up onto the dry sand.

Good lord there were targets everywhere, most of this stuff came from about a 30x70 foot stretch of wet sand dang. Quite a change from detected to death local beach, I'll be back!

Here's the white gold 14k ring, a nice wide ladies band whoohoo!

Here's another pic

Also found this silver earing, man that tarnish is seriously thick. My coin cleaner didn't even phase it.

Here's the back, 925. Looks old, I dug a wheat cent near this.

Here's the makers mark

Love that ring!! Darn shame people can't cover their holes & leaving the trash laying around.

Otherwise, looks like you had a good day at the beach.

Nice ring! Good that you didn't "ring" the fellows neck!

 

[LEOJ]

Nice, Charles---Very nice?! So perhaps you've got your Gold Mo-Jo going once again...

I've get a mental picture of that! That's pretty funny. I bet it would be therapeutic. You know, stress relief... Probably even get your picture in the local news paper,then you could post your finds right there along with your picture. How convenient!

You da man, Charles!

Nice Ring Charles!!! You are sure getting lots of goodies on that beach!

 

[Prober]

That ring is a beauty! Nice earring and pile o clad you got there. Yes, I would definately go back to that beach. I agree, it gets pretty irritating when you have to spend your time filling someone else's holes and picking up their garbage! I've had to do that numerous times...matter of fact I had to fill a bunch yesterday...like you I don't want people thinking that I made those holes and left that trash around.

Hope you find lots more at that spot. 8)

Very nice indeed. We need to change your name though. Let's see, RING KING sounds nice! Thanks for taking the time to do the right thing, that being covering the Nut Jobs holes and picking up his trash. When we all see something like this taking place we need to talk to that person. I have seen beaches in CA closed to detecting just because of stupidy like that.
HH Ring King.

Very nice finds, WTG!!!
Good job of cleaning up after, "Tourist Tim". It's guys like that, that give this hobby a bad name...
Continued Good luck, & Happy hunting~

No but I may have to give that a try, failing that I'll zap it with electrolisis. Now that I think about it I have some seriously black silver from the Jersey Shore I dug a few years back that needs zapping also.

LOL, no I come home from the beach too many days with a case of the mumbles to be a ring king. How about Lucky S.O.B.? I tell you its weird. I have dug 4 gold rings since moving here in April. In all four cases I scanned the mile of beach left and right, then walked right out to within 20-30 feet of the gold ring and dug it. In one case I walked out to the waters edge and put the coil down right on top of it. I then gridded the beach in all directions for a considerable distance and the one ring was all that was there. Go figure!

Well I'm off to dig in the dirt today, if I dig another gold or silver ring I'm buying a lotto ticket!

Sweet ring Charles. What's something like that worth in resale? $200?

Too bad you had to do damage control. Sometimes it goes with the hobby.
