Ace goes Pt 900 :)

[Ian (Japan)]

Had an unexpected free morning (Thursday), so you can easily guess what I did?!

321 yen in modern Japanese coins. Plus and older 1965 silver 100 yen, my second silver coin in Japan. And a brass 1948 Japanese 50 sen coin.

Platinum ring (marked Pt 900) - first one this year - showed/sounded as nickel on the Ace 150. Not sure what the heart shaped stone is - any suggestions?
Three silver rings - will clean them up during the weekend.
A red striped pull tab. And half a bucket of trash not shown.

Nice weather, warm and very little wind, plus the beach gods were very generous too. All good fun.

Hope you got out there too.

Looks like a moonstone to me.

Ian, I'm with the old lineman on this one - it sure looks like moonstone to me.

I'm thinking that it has to be a birthstone ring - moonstone is the birthstone for Cancer. Granted, it's a pretty stone, but it seems unusual to me to have a stone worth four or five dollars a carat set into a platinum ring for any other reason. The going rate for platinum today was just a couple of bucks over US$1000 per carat.

VERY nice find. Congrats.
