Hi :hello:

10A.M. Hank says "Hon, better not go detecting today...too cold."

Now, my friends, ....you have to know that statement fell on deaf ears :laughing7:

Off to my favorite old beach went I.

Hunted 2 hrs. in dry sand at high tide...sun was shining; no wind.

Found all but the ring during the 2 hrs. On my way back to the car , still swinging that coil I picked up a strong , solid mid-low tone, and in the first scoop the ring showed up...probably about 5 inches deep.

No karat stamping, but tested 18 K with Mizer gold test kit.

Here's some pics

Thanks for looking

Lorraine

Very nice Lorraine!! I have yet to find 18K! I did find that titanium band with a diamond mounted in 18K, but that doesn't count :wink:

Best of luck on your next hunt and I wish I could send you some of this 80 degree FL weather we've been having 8)

Yaya ! :icon_thumleft:,, nice gold ring ! Even in the cold ! it makes the day that much better.. Here in FL we are having a very mild winter.. I think highs for the week are right at 70.. We need a few freezes to kill the dern mosquitoes !

Nice little ring. European hallmarks are sometimes on the outside of the shank.

Thank you for the info, VWandstudebaker. This is the first ring I have found with the hallmark on the outside. I'm trying to track down the country...hallmark is so tiny...it is difficult to make it out.
