| Marine Corps Ring Found in Florida by Tourist Returned to Owner. Source: WPTV News (See ink below). |
SIESTA KEY, Fla. - A woman who found a Marine Corps ring on Siesta Key Beach over the weekend is thrilled she was able to locate its rightful owner only two days later.
Suzanne Rogers was vacationing in Florida when she found the ring on Sunday.
In hopes of returning the ring to its owner, who she believed was a marine who graduated from Parris Island SC on June 30, 2017 and was part of Platoon 1041, she shared photos of it across her social media.

Die chips, die cracks and breaks are are some of the things you'll see if you closely inspect a lot of coins. A die chip is a small chip in the die that leaves a small lump on the newly minted coins surface.
A die break is larger than a die chip.
A die crack is what it sounds like. A die crack will leave a long thin raised line on the coin.
They can be found on both modern and antique coins. Of course the production process has changed a lot over the centuries, but a die is still used to make an impression on a planchet.
Whether it is hand struck or struck by a machine, errors can occur. While doubled die errors can demand a premium on the most modern coinage, much of the doubling you will see is referred to as machine doubling and is of little interest to the collector. Machine doubling occurs when die bounces and makes a partial secondary impression.
You can occasionally see a second impression made by a die bounce on hand struck cobs from the Spanish colonial days too.

If you haven't checked in for a couple of days, you'll want to go back a couple of posts to see the shipwreck salvaged intact silver picture frame found recently on the Treasure Coast
There is no tropical activity in the Atlantic right now.
On the Treasure Coast the surf is running around two to three feet. The tides are moderate.
Happy hunting,
