Had one of those days you dream about.

[Jaws2]

Had a few hours before I had to pick up my granddaughter from school, made it to the beach around low tide and what a day. One 14k gold band with emerald cut diamond, very nice with a total weight of 9 gr, one interesting gold ring with dolphin and 2 small stones, ring is stamped 14k italy and 5 old silver rings.

In a couple of hours? Well done Jaws! Was it an area you've been over before? Perhaps the beach conditions were just right to reach the older stuff... OD

Wow, now that is a dream day!!!

You should have that emerald cut diamond ring appraised. That looks like a pretty big diamond!

I dream of having a beach near by like you have.

Yes you can tell by the condition of the silver rings, the sand has been eroded to a level that has exposed some very old targets.

That's when it all comes together (tides, wind, currents, all in the right place) - Nice!

Congrats Pat!

Two beauties with those Gold rings and great potential Silver rings after cleaning them. I personally get a huge kick pulling out those purple looking Silver rings.

I'm curious how you go about cleaning them. I use the vinegar bath with a bit of aluminum foil and a bit of salt. When the ring turns black I gently wash most of the black away and then polish it up with baking soda. On very eroded rings I get a rough granular surface but otherwise they look pretty good.

I gave up cleaning silver that has turned black, haven't had much luck doing that.
