Went to Huntington Beach by the pier early this morning. I wasn't expecting much in recent finds because this area gets hit hard with MD'er. I scanned around a few Lifeguard Towers and part of the beach. I found some bits and pieces of jewelry, some clad, and toys. I decided to worked obscure areas of the beach very slow and deep.
I found a humongous old Indian Head ring that was very deep in sand and clay mix. It is about a size 8, but it sure weighs a lot for it's size. It is unmarked and required extensive cleaning. I posted before and after cleaning photos. It weighs over 19-grams, doesn't test for 14k, so I'm not sure if it's 10k or brass. I have 10k acid, but everything tests 10k with 10k acid, so I don't trust it.
Thanks for Looking....
