Hit another spot last night, most of the oceanfront has been getting pounded mercilessly by at least a dozen or more pirates each day! I had to cut my time short as my wife was going to be back home so I did a bit of a "speed" hunt to cover some ground. First tgt was the chain with the medallions on it. Everything looks fake but the round one is actually a "relic" one side has a small strip of cloth inside a bead or bubble on the back, must be from a Saint maybe?.
The ring surprised me. It rang up as a 30 on the Equinox so I was figuring poss a quarter or something and was shocked to see gold in the scoop. I thought it might be a junker like the other little one I found but it was just really corroded up silver and the gold look brand new! There may be some marks inside but it's had to tell. I may actually take it to a local jeweler's to see if they can do a professional cleaning on it rather than me do electrolysis or tumble it. Looks like too nice a ring to screw up! Not sure how old it is but looks like it was in there for a while. Pretty heavy too at 4.1 grams (for its size anyway) and you can really feel how much more weight is on the gold end. It really is an interesting piece
(Update: Just found out its is a David Yurman ring.....https://www.google.com/aclk?sa=l&ai...EwiHmeHp35LcAhVElFQKHfvrDMY4eBDDPAi7Ag&adurl=
One other item was a nice bronze ships nail in with the mix as well and 2 coins, one a 10 kopec and the other I believe is a modern British or Canadian coin.
