I was asked what the image on the ring is? As you can see, it is a bird feeding baby birds. The question is why that would appear on a ring.
Do you remember the Pelican in Piety artifact and author Laura Strolia's research concerning that. If not, you can use the following link to read about it.

I'm pretty sure the image on the ring represents the pelican in piety. Here are just a couple images of a pelican in piety to illustrate that.

You can find many more by doing a quick internet search.
Here are the marks on the inner band of the ring.

I assume the crown indicates that the item is gold. The 750 indicates 18 karat. I don't have a good guess about the last two marks.
Author Laura Strolia says that the Pelican in Piety image was more rarely used after the 40s.
Cool find DB. Congratulations!

Some good items were found on the Treasure Coast last week. I heard of quite a few. Some nice items were also found in the Melborne area.
The beaches that were producing were scattered. Many were not. That makes it difficult for me to issue a beach conditions rating. A few beaches were good, but many of them were not good at all.
We'll have nothing greater than three to five feet for a few days. It looks like the wind will be switching a lot. That is not like what we had recently with days of north wind.
The weather is beautiful for the snow birds.
Happy hunting,
