I had a great day digging in a gross muddy beach for these badboyz.

The signet says scott, 1964, Murphy county with a graphic of a baseball player at bat and opposite an Indian chief with a headdress. Stamped 926 silver. I believe the stone is onyx.

The gold with Roman numerals is plated as it does not seem heavy enough but rang at 56.

The broken one I am not sure if it's junk or not. It has four diamonds, graphics of bonsai trees, no stamp and seems very old rang in the 80's.

Necklace seems like a cheese knockoff nike and is stamped vn for vietnam. But it was still fun to pull it slowly from the sand!

Locals say all four are real and tried to buy them but I can't tell......how do you tell if it's silver? How do you tell if it's gold plated? Is gold plate worth anything? Has anyone heard of Murphy county, possibly with a baseball team named the chiefs?

Still new learning lots

That was a really Sweet hunt Thaddeus. I make it a policy to Never show anything valuable to people when I am metal detecting. I will show them the trash I'm going to get rid of.

There is a Murphy Lake in Hamilton County, N.Y.
There are also a few County Parks named Murphy, but there is no Murphy County in New York State.

Check the roman numeral ring very carefully for a T&C mark. If it is a Tiffany and Company Atlas Ring you have hit a few thousand dollar jackpot. Even Used value. I believe they ask upwards of 5K for it at the store.

I was just repeating what Google came up with.
