Two Ring Day for Excalibur

Tony in FL · Oct 21, 2010

Today's saltwater hunt turned up two rings. Both are unmarked which is unusual. The silver one was completely blackened until I took a green scratchy to it. There is still plenty of tarnish but based on how it is cleaning up I suspect it is sterling silver. The gold ring weighed in at almost 8 grams and an acid test suggests 14K.

Nice finds. :icon_thumleft:

I like seeing those egg shaped lead weights because they are often hanging out with the gold.

Wonderful finds!

It still saddens me to see how cheap our coinage has gotten. Those pennies take no time at all todissolve into a meaningless mass.

Thanks! I went out shortly after low tide while the water was coming in, probably no more than a foot or so water depth on both targets. As for how deep - not sure as my scoop is fairly big and I did not really keep track.

Thanks Les! Yes those were found with the machine I sent in toward the end of last month, so it may be a while yet before I get it back, hoping sometime next month. I have been thinking I may need to get a wet or dry suit pretty soon. Any recommendations?

Les West Central Fl · Nov 18, 2010

I found a 7 mil wet suit for $199 and a 5 mil wet suit for $179.00 on line. I ordered the 5 mil, one piece, which arrives tomorrow.

Really nice finds Tony! Just a note! I used a 3/4 suit and hood the last two outings this past week and yesterday. Lasted 3 hrs and was still comfortable. :hello2:
