About 2 months ago a Friend and I were working a beach together, about the time we were ready to leave a lady jogger stopped and offered the information that a few weeks before there was a couple looking for a wedding ring that they lost that day. She gave us her best guess where she thought they were looking. This morning was the third time I have been back and this time I got lucky. Check out the ring, gold/diamonds with total weight of 10.3 grams.
Also found a pocket spill? 4 Native American $1 coins, that's a first for me.

Beautyful ring. I have seen ones like this before, where the engagement ring is soldered to the deceased husbands wedding band. Judging by the size of the band, (appears slightly larger than the engagement ring), this is likely the case.
Again, great looking set
congratulations

Congrats on the ring!
also, congrats on finding 2009 dated coins, haha. Almost impossible to find in circulation, but they're sitting in the ground. The only 2009 cent I located this year was through metal detecting.
