    Water hunt with one keeper thick,heavy sterling ring

    Got out 5:30 am for a slight negative low tide. It was rainy and windy so only hunted an hour but I managed to score a fatty 925 mexican sterling mans ring. Normally my good finds are in waist deep water but this one was found at the water line about two scoops down. This ring weighed at 9 grams

    Prior to cleaning:

    Washing soda and foil would not clean this one so I had rely on electrolysis:

    Nice ring, sure was black coming out of the beach. The power of electrolysis has been shown.
