Sorry, still learning the ropes.....
The Pandora, found on Auckland beach after a storm, was searching with Sovereign and saw part sticking out of sand, thought it was "Indian Bling bling" Showed it to my wife, saw the huge smile and asked me if i knew what it was....Indian bling? NO! IT'S PANDORA! Me...Is that good? lol!
The diamond rind, same beach, different time, just going for a wander along the beach, bent down to pick up a signal, brushing sand away, some lady walking past yells out, "Do you ever find anything with that?" (Big Smile ) Come and check this out........ She: Gaping mouth, then huge smile.
(Found another on on another beach similar, must have been from tourist, was not summer, so guess someione visiting this beach, found just under top sand so was a recent loss) The Stainless ring, found on Auck beach, must have also been a recent loss cause was in top sand. The gold band was from a swimmer cause was found bout 100 mm down in wet sand after tide had gone out.
Other less value rings will post later with "story"
Just like "to everything there is a season" so is with all our finds, "There is a story".....I enjoy reading them all, it takes me there too, how exciting!

Thanks

Wow, nice finds. Excuse my ignorance but what is a pandora?? Sure looks impressive whatever it is.



My greatest fear is that when I die my wife will sell my collection for what I told her it cost me.

Yes my knowledge was similar when I found one a few weeks back.
Mine has 4 silver and 2 gold 10k charms plus bling fillers.
Not sure but I suspect IT could have been $600 new.
There is a pic on my blog.
