First gold off the beach

housed · Post by **housed** » Sun Mar 02, 2014 5:13 pm

Went back to beach I went to earlier in week when I found a load of silver predecimals. This time a load of fishing weights, 23 in all which is my record. Also found my first ever gold ring, not the prettiest but can't moan! It's 9cts. Also found a little silver ring which I don't think is to old as has the letters ...'erling' which I'm guessing is sterling. Has I think a makers mark which have posted in ID section. Also found 5.20 in spends, 2 euros and 20 odd predecimals.

Ty for looking

I finished on £4.39 and 11 pre decimal and there is the manliest grottiest silver sixpence in there iv ever seen lol I would almost say it's a fake. Don't no who would go to the effort of faking a sixpence from 1941 but there u go. Was a good day.

In all sincerity ... i cannot think or any other letters that would go withe "erling" ... if anyone can come up with anything other than sterling please shout...

Gold and silver all in one day ... the gods are shining down on you mate!

There were regularly faked along with shillings by putting lots of layers of tinfoil in a die and using a high powered press. The heat generated by the press used to fuse them together
