Found a nice 925 silver gents ring, around 8.5cm deep at a local park.
Cleaned up well has a caltic type design.

Thanks for looking.

Nifty find Ed, that looks like a nice chunky one!

How are the beaches up your way after the king tides the last week. Any erosion?

Hi Grant,

I haven't had a chance to get to the beaches unfortunately, too much happening of late. Sunday was the first time out for a couple of weeks
I have been using a higher recovery rate and swinging real slow finding things I would have normally missed.
I see you have been having some good finds.
Happy hunting and merry Xmas, keep the good finds rolling in.

Wishing all forum members a great Xmas.


Cheers ed
