Great piece of Gold.. look to be lost this season.. Some migth cry over that - any names in it.. As finders fee could exceed gold price.. A great find..
Now i know nothing about the legalities of beach detecting but i do know that there is an offence of 'Theft by finding' i would have thought that the best way of avoiding any possible hassle then the ring should be handed in as a found item at the local police station.
If after a certain amount of time has elapsed and the item has not been claimed by the owner then the finder gets to keep it anyway.
I know this as my wife handed in a purse containing a large amount of cash, after a couple of months she rang up to see if it had been claimed, it hadn't and she was given it as the finder.

Don’t annoy me, I’m a detectorist......and I know places where they’ll never find your body.

TinTin is right.
To do it all properly it must be handed in and if unclaimed after a period of time it then goes to you as the new owner. Very nice ring. Well saved Helluvatractor.

Told a guy on a rally that i did beach tecting ... he told me he didnt as he considered it scabby ... really some thoughts are kept in rather than let out!!!! hey ho
I told him that finding stuff is just like righting a wrong... its wrong that the stuff was lost, and all I am doing is putting it right!!!
So on that subject ... your ring is a great wrong nicely righted!!!!

Thanks for posting your last two finds. I didn't, think it was possible to find gold on local beaches with slippery out there! , gives me renewed hope.
May be its time to move up the beach a bit!
These tides have been massive, but spent it mostly fishing. 20+ bass in 2 weeks with the biggest 7lb. Had the MD out on one of the low tides to pick up some pre decimal coins but nothing as exciting as your finds.
