It's been a busy time and the weather is freezing cold, but I've been itching to get back to the beach so I made a detour for a short hunt on the way home from work. During the first half hour I found only some scraps of trash and a dime, but it was good to get out and get some (very) fresh salt air. The sun set and it getting dark so I headed back to the car over a big exposed sand bar. I ended up following a little trough in the bar that had some scattered pebbles and cobbles, figuring there might be a heavy or two in it. Hit only one target, which turned out to be the first intact class ring that I've found. It's a dainty and pretty little thing with a synthetic amethyst and a CZ on each side. It's also a featherweight, which is probably why it was high in the sand bar. No precious metal, just some undefinable, rhodium plated 'lustrium' or some such thing. But I looked it up at the Josten website and it looks like it sold for at least $380, so it must be precious to the owner. The good news is that I can identify the school, the graduation year, and the owner's initials, so there's a good chance I'll be able to find the person who lost it and make a return. If I'm successful I'll post an update.
