ROCKS + SHELLS + DRY SAND = SILVER + GOLD + ICE..today's hunt
Hi
Another beautiful day for beach hunting; followed the tide out.
Found the silver ring in the first 1/2 hr. of the hunt deep in the rocks/shells.
Was finding only clads and sinkers after 2 hrs, so I decided to "pack it in" and head for the car; kept the coil to the dry sand........ like a vacuum cleaner right on the sand.
I heard a faint , low "foil" sound which I started digging, and digging, and digging until finally down about 14 Inches there lay the 10K ring with what appeared to be a diamond in the center ( later, tested + with diamond tester at home).
The silver ring was put through electrolysis..looks to have been in the ground for some time.
There is an inscription on the band ; not sure of the language; perhaps Hamid may be able to translate it for us.
Here's some pics.
As always, thanks for looking at my finds
