Yesterday afternoon SoCal had a minus tide, so I hit the surf in the Belmont Shore area of Long Beach. We have another good minus tide this afternoon (-1.7), but I don't think my arm can take it, scooping that road tar muck at Long Beach. Maybe I will head south this afternoon.
On my 9th hole I scooped a cool looking silver ring. It looks to be old and handcrafted, but I don't know my rings very well. I took some before photos and a couple of after photo after a quick dip in jewelry cleaner. The area of the surf I worked was not short on targets. The lead and crap in the photo, less clad and trash, is what I had to scoop, .
This morning for a couple hours, I hit an area around a restroom restoration project (photo below) and worked the area early before the big scoop arrived. In the front of the restroom you can see a large electrical panel that has wires running under the sand that made the whole area extremely hard on the ears to scan. I knew all the EMF would drive most, if not all MD'ers away, so I was hoping for another quality ring. I did get a ton of clad, and all the smaller stuff you can see in the photo, including a empty coke bottle (not the coke you drink) in my scoop while swinging for some clad.
Any thoughts about the type and age of the ring would be appreciated. Thanks for Looking.....
