The beach bluffed me...

[GioTheGreek]

I stopped off at a local beach five minutes from my house on my break.

I got good signal, dug with the sand scoop and shook it...

Inside, I see a ring.

"FINALLY, A RING! Is it silver? Is it gold?"

*I think it's crap. Looks like costume jewelry with no marking. lol

 

[colorado14ers]

you know what im going to say.......a ring is a ring .

 

[ANTIQUARIAN]

At least the "rose" looks nice.

 

[GioTheGreek]

Yes Ant. the legendary black rose...

It probably belonged to some emo kid.

 

[Minrelica]

That reminds me of the first ring I found. (it was this year)

I was hunting a tot lot and pulled out a gold "colored" ring and I got a little excited about it.

The jeweler told me to throw it back where I found it

I think that still looks cool though.

Ya, I'm thick skinned so I laughed instead of getting bummed out. In the same breath he told me to keep bringing things in because "you never know". A couple months later I brought in a gold "colored" necklace which was initially thought to be brass by a different jeweler and also his assistant. He offered to have it tested for me for FREE because, well "you never know"... It turned out to be 22K gold so he also fixed the clasp and steam cleaned it for free as well. I think I made a new friend

look at the bright side better than a pull tab

It could be black onyx or some other valuble mineral... But if it's plastic or resin, the mineral value is worthless... It is probably silver alloy.. or could be junk..


How about: investigate further and let us know.

By the way, those three stones on the side look like garnets.. Perhaps of the Pyrope type... It's hard to fake those.. It's probably real.

 

[GioTheGreek]

Yes you could be right Fireseye...

Garnets come in many colours... including black. It's a long shot. :P

The rose seems so cheap though (feels like rubber), it makes me think that it's worthless. haha

 

[Rogerm069]

The thrill was still there and that's worth something in my book!

 

[steelheadwill]

Ha! Been getting my share of 'Bluff' finds also!
You'll hit it soon! Good Day, Herbie.

 

[Skelly607]

I agree,,,,way better than a pull tab.
