beach finds 2-13-08

We got socked by a decent south swell here in the east. The beach didn't get nailed as hard as I would have liked it to, but it did give up some good stuff for me today.

16 quarters, 10 dimes, 2 nickels, and 25 and 3/4 cents. A few weights and other assorted crap.
1 religious pope charm (cant tell if its silver, but made in Italy)
1 titanium men's wedding band
1 18k women's ruby/diamond ring ( i know the picture looks like its a 10k, but it's a squashed 8 ) I nearly lost my scoop on this one as it was right in the shorebreak and got nailed by a wave as I hurried to get it out) I think it read an +11 on my DFX. If it is indeed a real ruby, its my biggest stone yet.

Wow, NICE finds!
Way to go.
The rings are especially beautiful.
I am surprised the coins, esp. pennies are in such good shape for a beach.
I "fish" Folsom Lake, and the coins rot pretty quickly with the water,
so you have to expect some damage, but yours look pretty good.

Unclevinny....there are 3 pennies (older ones) that are fine....the rest are so toasted they should be thrown away....shiny..but pitted to hell, fried, useless.....they read all over the ID spectrum, they can sometimes appear to be gold in the scoop giving an adrenalin rush only to then have your dreams crushed as old Abe laughs at you.....i hate them...lots of guys here just toss them as they find them

Nice stuff Woj. Try to post on the Beach and Shallow Water page if you can. All of us water hunters would like to see your finds. We don't always read this page and you can make some good friends and share some tips with all of us.

I hope that your Ruby is real. They don't usually put synthetic stones in 18k rings but stranger things have happened. It would be my luck.

Great finds, but my favorite out of that whole group would be the titanium band. I love titanium, its the only material I'll wear for jewelry anymore.

I just found a titanium ring with the same engraving on the inside. Does anyone know what company makes these rings?

I found a similar pattern titanium ring, but it only said 'Ti'...

They are probably made by any number of different companies.

Oh, IMO, the fun-est part of titanium ring is from the movie with Sharon Stone where Ed Harris blocks closing of an automatic door with his ring... 'the Deep'

The logo on this titanium ring has a big letter 'G' with a halo on top of it. It's the same logo on the ring I found yesterday.
