Plucked a Gold Victorian Cameo Ring from the sand Sunday... (Updated more pics)

[fir469]

Picked up this beautiful 10K or 12K (tested under 14K) Victorian Era (1880-1920) Cameo ring from about 5" down in the shell mulch sand on Sunday. Best part was it was located right smack in the middle of 3 previously dug holes by another MD'er. He was moving way too fast for this trash laden beach and passed it up along with a ton of other targets. They key is to just slow down, sometimes way down, keep that coil flat and persevere... HH all!!

Added more pics as requested, including one of the beauty that stole it from me lol...

can't truly say enough how grateful I am for all your kind comments!! I'm gonna go see a few jewelers this weekend to get it appraised and possibly restored. I'm mainly a old coin and relic hunter but the frozen ground and snow has chased me to the beach recently. This is actually my first gold from the beach, so I'm thrilled it's a good one! I've found a ton of silver from the beaches but no gold. I guess i hafta thank old man winter for shutting down my normal hunting grounds!! Thanks again guys!!!

Did you ever get this appraised?

Yup, that is exactly where all my nice rings end up too! On her fingers. Best way to "display" your finds. Get used to it. Great Find! The ring is nice too.
