My paternal grandmother who lived in Florida could walk down the beach, reach down, put her fingers in the sand and pull out jewelry and money without any equipment and without even looking. She could also go out in the field and pick a entire bowl full of 4-leaf clovers.

Just a note. I've owned a jewelry shop for 22 years and as gold prices have gone up many chain jewelry stores started selling and setting diamonds and gemstones in everything from 8kt gold to sterling silver. Most men's rings like the one you found are set in 10kt so they don't break as easily as 10kt is harder than 14kt. I would not assume there wasn't a black onyx or diamond in it! The stones in the bracelet are topaz ...aquamarine is incredibly expensive per carat and not set in vermeil.

Hi PK, thanks for your very interesting comment I have a question for you. I was explaining to a younger person the difference between 22k 18k 10k gold etc. I said the gold is diluted with other metals like copper, Am I correct and could you please tell me in more detail what defines "K". thanks and greetings from Australia. I don't like Indian gold as its so yellow and fake looking. Is that because of the inferior metals added to pure gold ?

@boarbot7829

Жыл бұрын

@@Kingofrestrrooms666 I mean, you don’t really need the help of that guy. You could look it up. K stands for karat and us the parts out of 24 that is pure gold, for example in 10 karat gold 10 parts out of every 24 are actually gold. Other metals added are silver and copper, yes.

I am used too lots of detectorists, just because they are out detecting doesn't mean anything as I find a lot of great stuff detecting behind them.

@@funwithjim totally agree, you have to walk over it to find it. Sorry if you didn't get my British sense of humour 😁

After getting my first dog I noticed that because I was looking down at him walking in front of me often, that I was also seeing the sidewalk, or the ground in the woods, or the park grounds more than I would normally. We explored some rather odd places and I found change, jewelry and several cell phones, mostly in the woods where people would sit or climb over rocks or fallen trees. One day we got caught in the rain while deep in the woods. I figured a short cut up a hill would get us home quicker. At one point I was hanging on to a scrawny little tree, while trying to climb up a wet hill, steadily being rained on. I stopped to laugh at how ridiculous this all was and at the look my dog gave me then, which cracked me up even more. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a bit of a sparkle in the wet mud. I scraped around the area a bit and uncovered a gold ring with two intertwined hearts which turned out to be 10k gold. Over the years I also found a gold diamond ring in a Mall parking lot, which had been run over and squashed, a gold chain, a silver ID bracelet, a silver ring and a huge 14k white gold wedding band nestled in a load of garden stones we had delivered to our front yard. I also found a wallet with five hundred dollars in it, no ID or credit cards. A find I should have ignored was a purse with an empty wallet, make up, stuff like that, and a card for a dentist appointment with only a first name. I phoned the dentist and told them to contact the patient named on the card to let her know that I had found her purse and to call me. The woman got back to me and I walked my dog over to her apartment building which was close by. She came downstairs to meet me, went through her purse and wallet and then looked at me and asked, "Where is the money?" I told her it had obviously been taken and that I had found her purse as is. From her look I gathered that she didn't believe me. She turned and walked away. So much for a thank you. Unfortunately since this woman lived in my neighborhood I saw her a few times after that and from the looks she gave me each time, it seems she still thought I had stolen her money. On the other hand, a cell phone I found lying in the sand at the beach, netted me a fifty dollar reward from the owner. I didn't want a reward but he insisted. It was his business phone and he was incredibly happy to get it back.

Wow! What a dream. I go “treasure hunting” in creek beds, but all I get is fossils! lol! Sure would love to find some beautiful gold.

So....today my hubby and I are watching this video for the 1st time. I want to say that I was born and raised in Cali and surfed on the north side of the pier...though I was raised in the hills of 91745. I live on a beautiful uncrowded beach on the Great Lakes now at 64. My heart was always here in Huntington. Prom nights walking down the pier and dancing on the pier....Grunion running....I've not been home in 34 yrs....it does me so much good to see your videos....my heart is so touched. May I also say that it was nice that this one gentleman picked up glasses that you found...but I got pissed when he came over detected the ring in YOUR spot and he kept it...GRRRR Both of us got mad. Anyway...I we get so tickled when you score. Thank you so much for cleaning up the beaches as you go...We don't watch anybody else. We love you kind personality and you are funny. Thank you for going through all the trouble to share. We just love you!

18k without any other marks is assumed 18k but Keith did have that bracelet tested and appraised, 1/20 would be gold filled and if it had markings like 'GP,' 'GE,' or 'HGE' that would make it plated. Though I find brass items marked 18k often, we call that gas station jewelry. Lol!
