Hey All,

Not much in jewelry finds at the beach, but found a cool relic I guess, looks like a WW2 aircraft gun shell. Some old guy said it might have come from the P-51's they had at MacDill AFB in Tampa, apparently they use to use some of the beaches in Sarasota for strafing practice. Not sure if the guy was pulling my leg, but it was kinda odd finding it at the beach and boy was that sucker deep! Anyways found some earrings, one looks like it's gold plated (couldn't find any number marks, but did have some kind of "star" imprint ??? not sure if that means anything) the other feels and looks like silver and the ring seems like silver too ( possibly toe or women's ring). I did the magnet test on all of them and none of them stuck to it. Well HH all.

Nice finds there. I don't know how someone could lose a phone on the beach, I am always checking to make sure mine is secure and with me. If I did lose it, before I left I would as someone to call my number and listen for the ring, and vibration :laughing9:
 
Great finds, nice history!!
