Sink me, Bucko! By the barkadeer me booty was found!

[Narthoniel]

Hullo,

This morning I enjoyed a 3 hour hunt before work. Decided to try a new stretch of beach, and saw where they were setting up for a huge surfing contest. Ill be back there afterwards . That area was pretty dull, so I moved onward, and walked a line north for a mile or so. Along the way, I found what is definatly the coolest item I have yet found. (the pictures show some brown in the black areas, I hadnt noticed this til the camera caught it. might need to clean the inside of it, it looks a lot nicer in person)


This ring is Huge!!! It fits on every finger on my hand, and I love it. It sounded like a nickle in the water, but it is not gold. Does anyone have any idea what it could be? Seems like a silly question, but, I am curious. What else sounds like gold, but is not, and is used for jewelry?

Today's sunrise looked promising, the sky was beautiful. I kept peeking over at it, and noticed an area that was getting very bright. So I stopped for a few miniutes, and watched to see the very first glimmer of light to appear. I waited and waited, and then suddenly, and without warning, I saw gold ont he horizon. A bright blazing flash of gold that came and went so fast it took my breath away. I think I will try to watch everytime the sun rises, as it was an awesome sight.

I hope yall enjoyed my neat little find. I also found a charm bracelt, a pocket knife, and a couple bucks in clad. Was a nice little hunt considering how sanded in we are. I hope you are all having good hunts, especially you lucky scallywags down there in Florida around Fay.

Oh, and I should clarify on the title . In honor of this ring, I performed a bit of research into pirate jargon from the following website.
http://homepage.mac.com/crabola/PirateGlossary/Menu22.html
Pretty cool to see all the terms and things they used. I figured since I found a gnarly pirate ring, I would make the post title piratical to suit it. To clarify quickly the words I used, here are the descriptions:

Sink me! - An expression of surprise.
bucko - A familiar term meaning friend.
barkadeer - A small pier or jetty vessel.
me - my.
booty - Treasure.

Stainless steel often signals in the nickel range
A variety of junk jewelry alloys can signal in the nickel-pulltab area
If your ring has no markings it is probably ss
