found a ring

[Iruka]

Hey! That's my ring....I lost it...um, where did you say you found it again?
Anyhow, I've found 7 rings so far...the last one actually had 2 names & a wedding date on it, & I tried to find the owner online, & by contacting the police & military here on Guam (the dive site made it fairly likely that it belonged to someone in the military) but neither of them even answered my email. I found a really easy way to clean coral-encrusted rings is to just leave them in vinegar overnight, which dissolves the coral.

We did some chemical testing on it and it reacted properly to the platinum test. Could it be platinum if it doesn't have a stamp?

Ah, but did you toss it into fire and look for runes??

(Cue "Lord of the Rings" music here...)

My first wedding ring was diving treasure. My husband found it diving before we met. It was not elaborate but it was gold and it did have a nice little diamond.

All my family thought he was a cheap #@%^#* for not having bought me a ring...

I loved it and still wear it even though he has since purchased me a new ring.

You had to be real special for him to "surrender his booty"

Wicked cool find! I like the design, too.

How much?

I saw it, maybe 1000.

That is so cool, finds like that are the reason I'm getting a metal detector. Underwater, no less.
