I feel bad for the people who lost their jewelry. Years ago I found an engagement ring on the beach outside of my home and put a flyer out that I found it, but they had to tell me what it looked like. It belonged to a widow and she was really happy to get it back. You never know the story behind them or how much it means to the person. Anyway great video
Hi Robert...i'm new to your channel. Great finds! I'm a jewellery collector...the necklace with the small grey round beads look like hematite....if they stick to a magnet then it's magnetic hematite....either way the crystal is a very grounding/healing stone...the fragment of a chain...that didn't look right to you may be yellow and rose gold....and that vintage class ring at the very end...is worth more than the gold itself as it appeared to be "art deco"...1930's - 40's...i'm in canada...but there's a jewellery collector named Hudson Vintage in the U.S...she may be a good person for questions...she collects both fine and costume. I gave a thumbs up & subscribed...take care!
It's been three years ago when you posted this... A day of days... I've been watching you far longer. Nothing before or since has come close to matching this extraodinary situation... When you pass on a hoard like this one, it's one to remember...
I was a remount jeweler for Dave Downey Inc. out of Indianapolis, Indiana back in the late 80's. The men's ring with the four Sapphires will probably appraise around $2,500.00 to 3,000.00, possibly more depending on the quality of the melee' and the sapphires. I've been out of the industry since the late 90's due to deteriorating eyesight and burn out so could be worth even more. One thing I can tell you for a fact, generally speaking they don't mount junk stones in 18Kt. or Platinum, good luck and great finds!
I dont think that's blue sapphires. I think it could be blue diamonds. That's Indian gold moulded by westerner, they definitely put blue diamonds in it. I've seen a similar ring in the shop
@@Swoop180 I found 2 stones both cut.. One has gold(pendant) in perfect condition. The big one is cracked damaged inside.. To this day I wonder what made it break but only inside, the surface is fine!.. I didn't sell them or show them to an expert, a friend tried so hard to buy the damaged one, tbh it's beautiful even in that condition. The little one is more beautiful as if it was made yesterday. It is so luminous (beautiful colors once hit by sunlight or other light source.. Colors are: white, blue, yellow, violet, red, etc..)
Nice score! I worked for a jeweler for many years. At 28:25, that little piece of chain looks like real gold nuggets soldered with cheaper metal to form a chain or bracelet. (lots of people bring those back from Alaska and have jewelry made, at least they do in Seattle.) In the can at 29:11, I'll guess it's part of an earring or maybe part of a pendant. 29:33 the small ladys ring appears to be poor quality rubies with possibly diamond or diamonique (fake diamond) 30:01 nice "stampado" cross on a hollow rope chain. . Those hollow rope chains are pretty light but still are gold. After that, a nice curb bracelet, hopefully it's real. BAM! Nice gents sapphire/diamond gold ring! You'd think whoever owned it would find a better jeweler to size it!! He did an ugly job on the back of the shank and perhaps made it the wrong size which may have led him to lose it in the first place!! That's all the better for you! Nice haul, Robert Ferguson! Nice day at the beach. All those kids playing in the sand not paying attention to the change falling out of their pockets. Too busy watching the girls in bikinis! HaHa! ;)
The stainless steel piece of bracelet is 18K over the steel. It is a piece of the bracelet to a Gucci Watch. I have one just like it that is 24 years old. I got it in a jewelry store in St. Thomas. And it still works perfectly! Nice Vid. Thanks.
Totally amazing day Rob!! Found you on RU-vid a few weeks ago. I have had delivered today a Nox 600 and cannot wait to go out tomorrow a take a swing down at a local beach near me all the way over in the UK. You have given me hope that the detector I have now bought will find me gold and silver like you have found. Keep up the good work and wish me luck!! Look forward to watching more of your journeys on the beach finding more of the good stuff!!
Some people may say "oh geez, what the heck is this guy doing?", but I understand the joy and excitement you convey by doing things that make you happy. I walk away from this video with a smile on my face. Thank you
yea right. I would love to see one of his videos where he starts hunting the people who lost some of those expensive items on the beach. I mean, some of those items may have been given to them from their past grandparents or such. I understand finders keepers, but it sure would be nice to see 1 or 2 items going back to their original owners and having their reactions on his videos, it sure would be a awesome video, and he might even get more subscribers
@@roberttretola8263 unless a item it monogrammed and has some other identifiable features, such as a school or town, it is very very difficult if not impossible to track down the original owner unfortunately. Also if the original owner wanted to retrieve their items worth thousands they could have taken the time and money to buy a metal detector and go retrieve it. There are a few videos of rings with identifying marks being returned. I metal detect and offer my service on Facebook if anyone loses jewelry. For some reason I get tons of people asking for my help, and when I say I would be happy to and try to setup a date and time to go help them they never get back to me. Weird. Out of 20 people contacting me I had 18 not get back to me. Some really blow my mind. Had a lady lose her silver pendant with her kids ashes in it. Told her i would be happy to help find it the following day....never heard back from her after that. Would have expected her to really be anxious to get the pendant back in a hurry. Anyway sorry for the long comment. Just wanted to explain how metal detecting has worked out in my experience. Take care.
@@roberttretola8263 If a piece of jewelry is that precious to someone then they should leave it at home and put away safe before going to the beach or any kind of water activity especially women and their for ever precious wedding rings this does not exclude men it's a known fact that the cold water of the ocean lake or river will shrink your fingers and those rings will come right off and you will never know it until it's too late other than these folks that take them off and lay them on their towel before they get in the water but that's no better because when they get out alot of them head straight for their towel forgetting they layed their precious wedding rings down dont even leave them in the car car get stolen or someone break in to it or break down and have it towed forgetting they are in the console or glove compartment so here's a clue if they are that special guess what leave them at home put away safe until you get them back on your finger I think if you know who lost it or someone comes to you and ask would you help me find my so very precious wedding or heirloom rings that I shouldn't have been wearing on the beach then you may help them if you wish and if thats the business you want to be in after you buy a very expressive metal detector. besides there's other channels on RU-vid already doing that. thank you and have a nice day!😜🙄😭👽
Hi, i am rewatching this magical day you had... Did you think you were dreaming?! You deseve every bit of that find! Coins add up at that rate... a yummy dinner and some spins on the slots. Woo hoo!
Robert, you should carry a small magnet with you to check the gold and silver - they're non magnetic. Fakes will stick to magnet. Awesome day for both of yall !!! I'd have to dig every sound - couldn't stand leaving something behind!!!
You earned it! Way to hang in there! I've been detecting for like 38 years. My first nugget was 3 and 1/4 quarter ounces I had less than 2 hours running detector the original Gold bug. Technology is constantly changing you won't get rich but you'll get healthy and enjoy the outdoors just like fishing bird watching gold panning bicycle and hiking hunting whatever motivates you we're healthy out outdoor exercise peace to your soul. Congratulations on the gold don't feel good! The new detector help discriminate the targets with less experience, you can do the same thing with the sound but it takes a lot of experience.
That big gold ring with the stones are either a Rolex Ring or a copy of a Rolex ring made by the Turjish jewelry company ( Arpas ). Hope you got it checked and allready know that. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Denmark.
Awesome finds! I loved this video! I took my detector out for the first time yesterday and was excited to find a dime, old beer cap, beer pull tab from the 80's and a scrap metal ring. I think I would have passed out if I found this stuff!
AMAZING!!! I’m so happy for how blessed you got!! When you put that ring in the sun my tv screen put off all kinds of blue rays from the sapphires and other bling from the diamonds. Congratulations!!! And you got a new subscriber ❣️
That's actually the truth. Notice how deep he had to go for the diamond and sapphire ring! It was way down there! And with the water constantly washing it all, it will just keep going deeper.
Wow! I am impressed Robert. What an awesome day you had detecting on the beach. I have never seen so many coins in one spot that was amazing. Killer video Robert. And all that jewelry amazing!
i was so happy and excited for the glod digger men .I love to see their face smiling and amaze for founfing new discoveries.I wish i could b with them to be one digger for fun only i enjoy watching you guys. Keep up the good discoveries and always take cate GOD bless and guide and protect you guys
Great spot! It seems that the beach has been eroded by a storm? I see people standing in the background almost a meter above see level. That could explain the enormous amount of finds. Am I right? You should search this place a lot of times. Good luck!
Damn bro nice finds! I love finding gold! Doesn't matter if it's a ring, or part of a broken necklace....gold is gold! And it's soooo nice haha. Oh and I'm almost positive those "pink stones" in that small ring are natural rubies. I found a 10k ring almost identical to that one and that stones tested positive for rubies! Nice stuff 👍🏻 GL on the next brotha!.!.!
I'm so jealous. I need to buy a Equinox 800. Wish I would have had a Detector when I lived in Cali. I have a Bounty Hunter Sharpshooter now, but I will get the Nox 800 soon up in Golden.
Damn ya hit a gold mine! You must be in the riptide area. Usually a large inverted V forms in the sand as water washes up then pushes off shore. That’s the point lots of jewelry will accumulate. Learned it from a old timer in Florida.
The green on the broken one could also be from a repair. Where they may not have used gold at all. Usually, in 14k the stones are real. The other green 10k ring looks old, maybe pre 1940's. Love this stuff, HH!!
Hey man I bought the nox 600 for the same reason. I also didn't see paying that much more for a gold prospecting mode that I would never use. Got a big 18k gold mens ring from the 1800s this season. Has a huge intaglio tigers eye stone. Hh
You have half of a gold-plated watchband, and a hollow 14kt chain, which is why it’s light. As for the green on the shank of the ring(s), the jeweler should have soldered the size adjustment with same materials, but used a cheaper alloy, maybe 10kt.
last year i found a 10k gold and diamond tennis bracelet with over 100 diamonds on it just laying on the ground at he gas station on the way to get some ciggarettes. my girlfriend didnt want me to go out but for some reason i couldnt stay in the house. one of my buddys i was having a beer with that night worked at a jewelery store and told me it was fake, so it laid around the house for a while my girl even wore it to work a few times lol and after the curiousity had eaten me alive i finally went to get it tested and it checked out as authentic gold and diamonds. seeing you find that saphire ring brought back that feeling, awesome video and finds man. p.s. my birthstone is a saphire!
Sweet man ! I paused to tell you to hit the lucky lepracon then you said it ! I got some 40s silver coins today up here by Old Hangtown , Cali. Good luck!
The small lead piece with the wire bits ... probably a bag seal. The bracelet that you doubted was gold, left sitting at the top left corner of the tray - looks like gold nuggets
i'm from alaska, don't discount that chain with the small nuggets, i think i've owned like 20 or more of those over the years made from gold mined locally
Be careful of the flesh eating bacteria on the FLORIDA BEACHES IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY READ ABOUT IT PASS THIS MESSAGE ON BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THEY ARE WARNING PEOPLE AND IF THEY ARE NOW AFTER SO MANY HAVE DIED THEY ARE NOT MAKING IT LOUD AND CLEAR BECAUSE THEIR AFRAID IT WILL HURT TOURIST SEASON BUT IT'S NOT ONLY IN FLORIDA IT'S SPREADING THROUGH THE GULF 🤕😷😱😮😬🤪👽👽👽
If you had a strong magnet with you, you could have collected all the nickels, dimes, and quarters pretty quickly. Then all that would be left would be the pennies... and any silver/gold.
I watch this one to get hyped up before detecting sometimes when the conditions are good. Hope you have another few days like this again soon my friend
Its cool that you know pretty much what you are finding due to the number. At first I was like you know I am not going to watch him, I started to watch and its pretty cool watching you search for beach treasure. Awesome finds and have a wonderful day. Piles of coins.
