4 hr hunt this morning yields a slew of coins, vintage silver ring, and an ? "oldie"

Hi,

Well, it sure was hot/humid out there this morning, but I managed 4 hrs. as the tide was coming in,
Hunted some wet sand ( where I recovered the vintage silver ring) , but mostly dry sand ( which is where I found the majority of coins).

Here's some pics and also a link to the possible identification of the "MILITAIRES EQUIPEMENT"

clasp / button/ (not sure what it is.)

Thanks for looking

Lorraine

Wow you did great Lorraine!!

Very nice clad count Lorraine and the sterling silver ring
is a good looker. Some of the older styles are the best
IMO. Gold Nuggets

Nice ring - always happier when marked sterling than 925 - they are usually older -WTG

Geeze, Louise....you done it again! WTG! The more you find, the more I'm convinced that I have to talk my husband into moving south! (I'm actually a Florida girl by birth, so it's no stretch for me. He HATES the heat, so I'll have to live vicariously through you.)

Love the ring! Can't help with the ? of the button. You always post interesting displays of your finds. Very enjoyable looking at your pix.

HH,

that ring is a beauty Lorraine! I'd be wearing it! I'm not getting out much right now, caring for my sister who is terminally ill. So I'm living vicariously through everyone elses finds. You are doing well!

Nice looking silver ring find!

 

[Smoogle]

that is a beauty - the only ones I've found that say "Sterling" are older styles - wonder if they still use the stamp.

That's a lot of digging! Good job. I especially like that you found more quarters then pennies. Any day when the quarters outnumber the pennies is a good day.
