Looks like a lot of work. I would clean the rings anyway. I'm sure they would look better.
Nice haul and good hunting.
Thanks Marco, Yes, lots of work but enough good targets to keep it interesting.
George....that is one heck of a hunt. With all those targets, gold has to be just around the corner. I also was out on Sunday with only a small silver ring to show.
Thanks Jeff, Sometimes you know when the gold is close- you can almost feel it.
Looks like we might get another chance this weekend with some high surf predicted.
That hunt had almost everything! Sinkers, keys, fishing lures, bullets - lots of pretty cool & varied stuff.
Thanks Felix, If I could have only found some old coins, gold, and platinum, it would have been perfect!
Some serious digging went on there to get all that stuff. Congrats on the rings. If you wanted to clean them up without taking any of the silver off use the Hot water, Aluminum Foil, Salt and Baking Soda bath. I've had similar finds and it worked wonders on blacken silver like those.
Thank you Numil, The turquoise ring is so thin I'm reluctant to touch it. And I really like the big silver ring as it is but I'll try that method sometime.
Nice HUGE mix , that hunt did not need 2 rings to be a winner ! HH
Thanks Ricki, I know I'm a bit spoiled but I do love seeing rings rattling around in the bottom of the scoop!
Looks like finds on one of my fresh water beaches. Nice work saving the silver.
Thanks Scuba, Yes, lots of rusty iron from this particular beach. Not much gold on this beach either but once in a while she'll surprise me.
Nice finds. Those rings should clean up well with electrolysis.
Cheers,
Skippy
Thanks Skippy, I've cleaned a lot of silver jewelry using electrolysis and it does work pretty well but I think some rings look more interesting as they were found.
