Interesting afternoon at the Mount Thursday with 2 Rings found the first one a 9 ct Wedding Band 9.2 grams,this was followed 10 minutes later with what I thought was Silver but after closer inspection has 950 stamped on the inside and came in at 5.2 grams,both of these had spent sometime in the care of Neptune
These were accompanied by a selection of badly corroded coins due to what could be described as a massive sand up welling on a section of the Beach accompanied with layers of sea lettuce and kelp
The sand in places was of a texture not seen before on this section with some places built to a depth of half a metre which made digging a breeze
Went back last night with Colin but this had changed again with more Kelp and came up with very little
Jumped back up to the dry to be content with the leftovers of the Surf Carnival of rigging clamps, nuts and bolts,washers and a Hammer along with a few coins
Very nice inscription on the inside of the Gold Wedding Band
"Here Is My Heart Guard It Well"
Nice rings Al,also like the watch from your previous post.Yip it sure pays to keep an eye on the changing sand patterns.e at Whitainga and having a ball lots of gold turning up will post over the next few days
ReplyDeleteHeye Al,
ReplyDeletei am pretty sure that the ring on the left that has 950 is SILVER 950 and not platinum there are a number of makers that do 950 silver.
You etrac signal will tell the difference, i will test tonight same size platinum and silver and post here my numbers
Max. You may be right as I had my doubts as there is a lack of Hallmarks just 950,also not very popular around here 950 Silver I see is almost exclusive in France
ReplyDeleteHas a TID of 11.47 and has a similar sound to another large Silver Ring,see Platinum has a TID of 12.03/4
Plus if I had a Platinum Ring I would want it to look better than this design
yap, you got Silver, anything over 1x-40 is silver , lower end is platinum.
