| Two Views of Mystery Find Submitted by Jason T. |
I received the above photos and following email from Jason T.
Found this in water while metal detecting. Looks very old with green patina. Hit it with magnet and no reaction. Weights 18 grams. Thick round band once held stone. Any way to date a ring like this? Shipwreck ring? Do you know anyone may know?
After I asked, Jason added the following.
No evidence of nut, however with magnifier on inside there is where the two sides meet together extra metal. Sorry difficult to describe. Almost like one side was molded then the other, then attached.

Shortly after the U.S. election results were certain, the World Health Organization helps the Biden administration by giving new guidance that will quickly reduce the number of Covid "cases." While the health agencies and media neglected to adequately inform the public, I told you about the importance of knowing the test reliability, validity and the effect of false positives.
The WHO now admits that certain test procedures used by many testing agencies produces false positives and recommends using new testing criteria that will automatically reduce the overall "case numbers."
Here is what they said in a new report.
WHO guidance Diagonostic testing for SARS-CoV-2 states that careful interpretation of weak positive results is needed (1). The cycle threshold (Ct) needed to detect virus is inversely proportional to the patient’s viral load. Where test results do not correspond with the clinical presentation, a new specimen should be taken and retested using the same or different NAT technology.
WHO reminds IVD users that disease prevalence alters the predictive value of test results; as disease prevalence decreases, the risk of false positive increases (2). This means that the probability that a person who has a positive result (SARS-CoV-2 detected) is truly infected with SARS-CoV-2 decreases as prevalence decreases, irrespective of the claimed specificity.
Most PCR assays are indicated as an aid for diagnosis, therefore, health care providers must consider any result in combination with timing of sampling, specimen type, assay specifics, clinical observations, patient history, confirmed status of any contacts, and epidemiological information...
I added the underlining.
Now that Trump is out, expect states and agencies to start opening restaurants and buisinesses.
Have any idea why Trump pulled out of WHO, and Biden quickly jumps back in on his first day in office?
Decision theory, as I previously explained is a valuable concept for detectorists, but also many other fields of study.

Thinking back to the high tides and surf we had in October and the resulting finds, I can't help but think again about the importance of putting in good time when conditions are good. They won't last forever. In fact thy might not last more than a day.
As they say, "Make hay while the sun shines." You don't know when it will come out again.
