Got my fill of gold for the day

[Racso]

Things have been hard lately at the beach, too much sand and not enough treasure. These are my best finds from 4 hunts and as far as clad goes I haven’t gotten more then $3 per hunt. I wonder if the ring with the shell is silver since it was marked .925 only 6 times If anyone has any info about the ring with the eagle please let me know. Thanks for looking and I wish everyone a Merry Christmas.

Ocean is so damn polluted that even the shells are wearing bling.

Cool frog, do you see on the bottom of the frog something printed?

The eagle on the one ring looks a lot like an Austrian or German eagle type. And the shell in the other ring is a Cowrie shell. They were used in West Africa as money before the Europeans colonized the area.

The eagle looking ring is a stylized " Thunderbird" fairly sacred bird in Southwest Indigenous mytholgy and symbolism . Yours was likely a tourist shop item in New Mexico , or Arizona - circa 1970's - 80's . Looks like the salt and sand have had their way with it over a few decades .

I was thinking the eagle ring looks to be of nazi origin

It’s quite hard to read the bottom of the frog. I think the first letter it’s and A or R then C?ER. I could be way off but the last R is the only letter I’m sure off.

Thanks for the info, the shell ring sounds very interesting. HH

The place I found it in is full of rocks so everything gets destroyed. All coins come out paper thin and rings come out broken. Thanks for the info.

I have seen this design , and so many similar thunderbirds - this is definitely not nazi .
