MY FIRST PLATINUM

[Captain PopTop]

Please excuse double pics computer problems, but one for the history books for me, if it doesn't have a number mark does the plat stamp alone mean its pure platinum ? My second Stuller ring this month. Got it yesterday didn't make it out today thanks for looking reel happy on this one H.H. Capt !

It looks like you have a Maker's mark on the ring. I found a Plat ring with +. I can't remember which maker it was but it was very specific. That maker used a secret metal combination for the last 5%. Probably will not alter the value but if you are curious you might be able to find out exactly who made it.

I have found two Platinum bands so far this year......In the last 5 years i have dug 10 Platinum wedding bands and 9 of the 10 came from one town.....I simply profiled the beachgoers that go to the beaches there....They are mostly affluent and the town has a huge Jewish population that love to wear platinum wedding bands.....these beaches are what I consider "Quality over Quantity" beaches......The vast number of coins and "K-Mart" Jewelry isn't there but when I dig gold and plat. it is usually a real nice piece !!

Hahah. That was funny and I hear you about the pics. I usually never post finds because my camera is god awful. Oh and surfdigger I watched your vid of you finding a platinum just the other day. Man you were happy. :-)

I'm hoping I find one when I hit the jersey shore next week.
