Five hour hunt while the Wife chilled on the beach. Found the rings in the first thirty minutes. First one I thought was junk , turned out to be 9.8 grams of electroplated 925 silver with what looks to be a Citrine or Topaz stone ! The second ring is my best find ever. Great big 15.8 grams of 18k yellow GOLD ! It has seven stones in it too. Two rubies or maybe garnets , and five diamonds. Rings were in waist to chest deep water. First few pics are before cleaning them up. The last pic shows everything I dug during those five hours. Besides the goods , I only had one junk hoop earring , one fishing leader , and two bottle caps !

Thanks for looking ! Good Luck , and Happy Hunting !

Thanks guys ! Anyone have an idea if that gold one looks like a ring made in the US ? Kinda looks like a Spanish style to me. I'm trying to research it a little. But , the only hallmarks it has are 18K ( the K is a capital ) , and the below that a bit is another capital K ( which appears to be double struck accidentally maybe ? ). The metal is NOT pressed in around the K which would make the K looked raised. The K just looks like it was " struck " into the gold. If that helps at all. My best guess is it's 18K , has no makers mark , and I'm thinking that the capital K without any flourishes in the font is its year of manufacture which appears to mean 1945. I'm probably totally wrong , but that's the best I can figure. Any help from the forum experts is appreciated ! Thanks.

It really is. Not the kind of thing I'd usually wear , but I'm wearing it ! LOL. Think it'll be awhile before I beat this one ! Just wish I could find out more about it. Country of origin , and what year it's from. Very interesting design. Thanks for the comments everyone !
