Nearly went in the bin.......

Post by KevinB »

and in fairness looks the best place for it.......

Hi All, Had four and a half hours out yesterday on a beautiful local beach, which was nice.....

I get so much rubbish from beach detecting I tend to discard it quickly without having an autopsy. With land bits I give more time. Going through my bag just now I ended up with 17 coins, tiny silver earing, a thin completely mashed possibly gold ring?.....and a fishing weight!

If junk rings look okay I`ll keep them but all the horrible one`s go in the bin and this one today was so close...Only becase it was cold and I could`nt be bothered to look at it outside in it came. Guess what, silver! I was surprised.....Good luck. [81/]

I have found a few of them on beaches over the years. Very difficult to sell though as there are lots of convincing Chinese forgeries about and buyers are incredibly cautious. [81/]
