Gold swastika

[birdman]

Hi all, Just got back from a three day power beach hunt with fairly disappointing results.
First 7 hour hunt ....No gold.
2nd 7 hour hunt nets three gold!
3 hour hunt the next morning plus another 7 hours yesterday nets no gold....

To my surprise there are locals with high end machines all over the place..

On a happier note I did find a pretty unique ring with a swastika. I think this symbol may have some meaning with the Buddhist religion also which is most likely why it is here in Asia but I am not sure.
The Japanese were over this area during the war.

Thanks for looking and HH.

the symbol used to be a "good luck" / religious symbol before Hitler "twisted its meaning --the straight across bars are the non Nazi type --the Nazi type are on a 45 degree "slant"

And the hooks go to the other side, like reversed 180°.
Cool find Birdman. When do you come over?

Unless it was a signet ring which would make the swastika the right way when stamping it into something.

Either way... nice find. If it is nazi related I wouldnt want that karma around me though.

Thanks all for the insite on the ring. Now that I know that it is not a WW2 relic ,it will be easy to sell when gold tops again.

Westfront,I will be there in July 2014.
Still a ways off but looking forward to meeting you.

All signet rings i've seen the swastika was not reversed and the print was 180°.

Why melting?? Sell the ring to someone who didn't know! 'Ultra rare jeweler made Nazi signet ring' That way you didn't lie.

July will be ok. Some fields open then. And a battlefield tour anyways!
