Most of the gilt was present before cleaning, but most came off. There are no markings on the ring that I've been able to see.

It seems remarkable to me how die found in many distant places and coming from many different time periods are so similar.

"Over 30 dice from the Middle Ages have been found in Bergen over the years so the discovery of a dice in itself is not very surprising. This dice is, on the other hand, special," wrote a team of archaeologists from the Norwegian Institute for Cultural Heritage Research on its website.
A normal dice has only one number (usually represented by a dot) on each of its six sides, ranging from 1 to 6. But not this dice.
"The dice from Vågsbunnen has two fives and two fours, instead of the numbers one and two. It is therefore very likely that this has been used to cheat in games," the archaeologists wrote...

As I explained before, there is a lot of confusion around the beach access issue. I posted parts of one article that shows how the media is to some extent responsible for that. I also explained that I am not I'm not going to try to explain any bills or anything like that. I will post other peoples opinions and positions on the beach access matter. Sherry Y. had the following to say.
Well, my representatives have not bothered to return my emails, and I can't say that I'm surprised. .I am a registered voter in Brevard County, so the surprise may be on them when they are up for re-election.
There is now an internet petition concerning public beach access. Here is the link if anyone is interested:
It already has nearly 30,000 signatures. We may not be able to get this particular bill repealed, but those clowns in Tallahassee might think twice before they try to pass another law restricting public access to our beaches.
Thanks and keep up the good work!
Sherry Young
It seems that most of the representatives have not responded to comments and inquiries. Maybe a lot of them do not understand the impact or care about it. For some reason many of them are not responding to the public.
As I said before, I think it is good to let your representatives know your feelings about the importance of public beach access regardless of what any particular bill would or wouldn't do.

I may have found the first gold coin from one 20th century site that I've been seeking. Maybe more on that some day soon.

Don't expect any big changes at the beach this weekend.
Happy hunting,
