Default Real or Fake....Either way a fun day
Hey everyone! I went out today for a few hours and stumbled on to a decent spot. I pulled a couple of encrusted silver rings, and three pieces of gold. The bracelet weighs in at 28 grams.The funny thing is that none of this is stamped....I have to wait to take it in to a Jeweler tomorrow. Either way, I thought I would share the pics with you. Thanks for looking and Happy Hunting!

Nice finds.. is it the shot or does that bracelet have a little tarnished look to it?

The things that were coming out of the surf today were very old. Here 9k 10 and 14k can tarnish or become dingy if they sit long enough. I have scratched the bracelet deeply and it is shiny underneath. That being said, there are no stamps on anything unfortunately. I always count that as a no until I get them tested. Regardless, it was fun!
