Gold Diamond Ring Found After Erin by Dan K.

Dan K. sent these photos and the following email.

Good afternoon,

I got out on Sunday to check some treasure coast beaches to see how they were developing from the hurricane Erin swells. I checked about 7 beaches. A few of them had clearly been pushed in closer to the dunes with very steep concave slopes. One beach had a small 3 foot cut that I detected for about 3 or 4 hours. I dug lots of lead fishing weights and building materials (screws, washers, nails). I also got a few coins and a 14k gold and diamond ring. The weather was beautiful and it was great to be back out after a long quiet summer.

Cheers!

Dan

A Florida archaeology student discovered a rare piece of ninth-century gold during her first ever dig.

Yara Souza, from Orlando, unearthed the medieval medal during an Newcastle University excavation in Redesdale, Northumberland, England in July.

She discovered the decorative ancient object within the first 90 minutes of the group dig...

The gold object, which dates back to the 800s, is approximately one and a half inches long and has a decorative ornament on one end...

The route continued to be used long after the fall of the Roman empire and eventually became a part of a major road in England - the A68 - which runs from Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, to the North East of England...

Here is the link for the rest of that article.

Tropical storm Ferdinand is way out in the Atlantic and far north of the Treasure Coast.

The bottle on the left is embossed "FEHRS." The one on the right reads "FRANK FEHR BREWING CO."

I previously posted the older one in TGbottlebarn.blogspot.com.

Before the 1930's beer came in green bottles then after the Prohibition, brown glass was used because it was thought to preserve freshness by filtering out sunlight.

And that would suggest that the one on the left is later than 1930, which I would have guessed anyway, and that the one on the right, which looks more green in person, is older than 1930.

The more recent brown bottle undoubtedly originally had a paper label.

Both are Treasure Coast finds.

Tropical Storm Ferdinand is far out in the middle of the ocean and no threat to Florida.

The Treasure Coast surf will remain down around two feet for the next week or so.

The high tides are today over three feet.

Good hunting,
