My favorite. Sounded like a zinc penny. Real ruby and the jeweler said that the gold tested in the dental gold range. Pretty interesting.

I have many but these three are equally my favorites for different reasons.
A white gold 14k wedding ring with 9 diamonds.
A nice buttery ring with an Indian name marked 916...22k.
An old heirloom ring with a natural, not cultured, pearl.
No makings but tests for 22k although I have no 24k acid and this is too buttery looking and too pliable to be anything less than 24k.

I was advised a while back not to show the 2 carat diamond solitaire ring which is my favorite and most valuable find but here is one of prettiest rings I have ever found- 18K with pave diamonds in yellow and white gold.
I believe that I found both within an amazing 12 month span when the beaches were slightly more productive than they have been recently.

Sorry, but I couldn't keep it down to one ring. I went through what I thought I wanted to mention and told the story behind them.
Ring #1: My most valuable ring find to date and it came in a dry sand hunt near a life guard station. I tried returning it to the owner but the serial # was registered outside the United States and they could not be found under the US system. I eventually sold it for almost $2,000 and it helped pay for the Camino hike in Spain I had with my daughter in 2015.
Ring #2: I think this ring is beautiful and my heaviest to date. It taught me that the “wash area” can hold some valuable targets.
Ring #3: This came from a section of a beach that I normally don’t hunt. It looks like an older design. The wife loved it and I ended up “loaning” it to her.
Ring #4 & #5: These 2 rings have been the best duo rings of any one hunt so far for me. I found them on my 1st hunt after returning from my 3rd summer Camino hike across Spain. I thought the Freemason ring was a class ring initially - which I still have yet to find. It was found very far offshore in high chest deep water if I remember correctly and was tarnished. (I initially thought it was junk). The other was the 1st higher than 18K ring that I had ever found. Simple but beautiful.
Ring #6: What makes this ring special, other than it being Bulgari, is that I found it on South Beach when I noticed some nice cuts for the 1st time ever on a hunt there (About 3’-4’). I was hunting the water and followed my hunch to go to the wet sand. The ring actually didn't sound so good and it was deep if I remember.
It was nice to go through my pictures to prepare this.
