IS IT ????? BLING

[Val Beechey]

Hubby says , aren't we a daft lot, they're probably saying to themselves, thank the lord she's finally found some gold, now we can all have some peace.    Me, I say we've all got a special kind of humour.

Dale, fairly sure it is gold. Yipeeeee.  I did it. Now for the big stuff   

Chris, That box is wearing better than me.  A good argument for sitting doing nothing 

Thanks for the comments, much appreciated.

Iam going to stick my neck out and say its at Tudor at least, as its got that ancient gold look 92 percent gold or there about...Its the right colour Val to be old ...more yellow than modern 22 carat ..my opinion Val ..

Had to bore you with this one.  Isn't Mother Nature wonderful. Eyes only find but must admit first glance I thought it was a ring.
And a better pic of the other one.

I spotted that large item in your other post Val, I thought it was a ring? what is it.

[Val Beechey]

Amazingly it's a shell surrounded by mollusc excretions.  I've painted it with clear nail varnish to preserve the fine filigree made by the molluscs otherwise it would just break down and drop off.

Hey well done Val on both those finds. Now we've got a female Badger on our hands

[Val Beechey]

Is that Dylan hiding in there somewhere ?  Name change, pici change, I can't keep up.

Long way to go before I'm anywhere near Badger.  Just nice to shout about my 1st gold ring.  Being so small, as well, it gives me hope that I will find another one. That's assuming I can get near the beach. Went yesterday and couldn't even get in the Car Park.  Ah Well, with age comes understanding. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR   I hate all those visitors 

Still. if it weren't for them there wouldn't be any finds on the beach

Yes it's me ...[.I think.] Stand outside the car park and take their parking money off them before the drive in. Then run like Hell

[Val Beechey]

Bet there's NO One there now.  And I'm not going in this weather either.  I'll just sit and be bored while John watches Spiderman 3.   OMG  I think he's going ......backwards.

Thanks for the link Roger.  Might treat myself to some, then I'll have to work twice as hard to find another ring to test.

Thanks Gil. Must admit that's one fashion I missed. I did see a lot of thin bangles but never rings.
