| Tungsten Ring Found by John H. |
I received the following email and these three photos from John H.
I found your 11/19 post very helpful, choosing a beach to hunt when the conditions are poor, being ready to leave or dismissing a beach all together, slowing down when signals are few and far between or faint-deep, trying pinpoint mode, etc.
As always, thank you for the work you do on the treasure coast beach reports.
The 1 Gulden is 6 g nickel.
See 1 Gulden - Juliana - Netherlands – Numista for more information.
Thanks for sharing John.
Many foreign coins contain a lot of iron. That was what I expected for these, but the Numista site says these are nickel.
Found on South Hutchinson Island, just south of Island resort by Marriott. ok to tell location. Finds are very hard to come by for the last week or two. Everything here is sanded in deep. I found both of these coins about 4 feet apart at the highest point of the morning low tide line. They are from The Netherlands I guess. I did not reverse the image the letters really are backwards, or seem to be. Strange that the larger coin is 47 years old and the smaller is 28 years old. They sounded terrible on the 800 and are made of inferior metals I think, "highly magnetic" and they seemed to be fresh drops. The Ring was a real heartbreaker, it weighs 23g the heaviest ring I have ever found.

The surf is smaller now, but we're supposed to have a nice high afternoon high tide Wednesday.
Good hunting,
