$350 today to a co-worker.
This is more impressive than finding the thing. Selling stainless steel at the price of gold.

Wow! Seriously an awesome ring that I hope to find one day, but in my size!.. the tell-tale “BVLGARI” on the side of the ring.

Do not rush to define white rings of famous brands as "stainless steel"; palladium or palladium alloys are often there ... you can check it by electrolysis or acid (orange or brown indicates this)I finally retrieve the ring and notice the tell-tale “BVLGARI” on the side of the ring. At first I thought it was an imitation, but as start to rub it with sand it gets shinier! I now decide it’s possibly the real deal!!! What’s funny is just about 20-30 yards away was another pirate with his CTX working the cut I had worked 3 hours earlier. This ring was deep and not near a “visible” cut. Evidently there was some erosion on some not so obvious sections of beach. At home with my jeweler’s glasses, I can see tiny inner markings “57”, “AU750”, “3646AL”,”Made in Italy” “Steel” and a serial #. My very 1st BVLGARI and on the board for December!

.. is also platinum, but it is almost always labeled.

Although I am happy at the $350 I could've possibly squeezed some more juice out of the lemon.
There wasn't one at that time with any bid amount. It's OK and you're correct - I am $350 richer. Not having to deal with PayPal & Ebay fees, and the hassle of mailing it and possibly having a disgruntled buyer doing a return is also a consideration.You didn't check the flea-bay first? Whoa...
Yeah, been there, done that. Bottom line is, you're $350 richer.
Nicely done!
