What a day, Mike and I hit the old stand by local beach which I pulled two gold yesterday. Today was to be more of a research and locate more Hot spots. And that I did, checking out far, deep, and from one end to the other. Was able to pull a couple nice ones as I pooked around. One thing, never try and clean a ring while in the water. As I was walking over to show mike I was rubbing the black stain and knocked off the small design on the 1940 class ring...dag...in the water...gone.
Also you can see I broke the back of the cameo ring messing with it.

Near the end of the Hunt I dug a little purse, or what was left of it. It had a Nice gold cameo ring and a few old coins. ..Shielded, Barber nickles, and a unknown..Not sure what the one coin is.. any idea's..looks to be silver. One Crazy day because I expected to find nothing...

Great day! I love cameo's, I would always buy one for my mother on her birthday(I swear she liked them). I have an 1868 Belgium coin exactly like the one you found, but the condition is more like the pictured one. I found mine in Mass. when I was kid about 36 years ago.
 

Congrats on the ring count OBN! Like the Cameo one a lot!!!
 

Wow, great finds and your clean up was spectacular!
Congrats, gold rings run to you!
I hit that spot, that river just might be a young mans game, big river rock and lots of mud. Closest thing I got to a coin was bottle caps. I'm very tired, still fun with a new guy who is almost hooked.
 

Nice bunch of finds, that 5 centimes sure has seen better days haha!
 

OBN... What A Great Hunt! Not only finding vintage Gold Rings but 150+ year old coins. It doesn't get much better than this for an afternoon on the beach. Take a second look @ your Shield Nickel.
They didn't mint an 1887 it could be an 1867 of which there were 3 varieties. If yours has shields then it could be worth a little somethin'

You found some great treasures today...Rich

Thanks Buddy, I am really surprised that it did not give up more... Did you get your Excalibur yet?

It is a shame but thank God the gold is safe from the elements... Most come out looking bad but clean up real quick...
 

Those are some awesome finds you have!!! Excellent work!!!!
 

WOW! That was a GREAT hunt man! Way to go! Not so good here tonight in our AO. Hunted 3 different beaches (2 ocean front 1 bay) over four hours and found almost nothing! lol The wind wasn't very kind today.
