Hit the local beach today and found this ring. I have never found one like this before. It was pretty covered in what looks like iron residue. A little cleaning however revealed some interesting details. It appears to have been a man's 18k wedding ring. Inscribed on the inside are initials from what I am pretty sure is a wedding. It looks like the ring had been cut and had the centerpiece added. That has three initials in some calligraphy script. You can see the edges that appear to be soldered on there. Finally, on the outside is "Died Nov. 14 1909". That date is pretty worn indicating that it was worn for a while. I think it might be someone's wedding ring that was turned into a memorial when the spouse died. It is a large size as in a man's finger. I don't think this is one that I will be sending in for melt value. You never know what you are going to find sometimes.
