I went out for a couple hours tonight a lot of plated and junk and about $3 in clad but my 4th target was a nice looking Band as soon as i pulled it out i could see the 950 inside But wait theres a PD in front of it ...it's a palladium bummer but it is a first for me. And talking to a friend we know who it belongs to there here on vacation and ill try to get it to the tomorrow, also got a R.I.P shell didnt think to much when i found it i didnt read it just put it in my pouch because there was so many people still on the beach,will have to get back down there and put it back in the ocean. thanks for looking

What MD are you using these days?..never found a palladium ring...not as good as gold or plat?...silver?got to be better than titanium!...Is the RIP shell common to find...is it just a decorated beach shell?...Good detective work on the ring...I'm sure the owner will be pleased...GL

I never found a ring made with it but still looks like a good metal to find! Sweet

Not sure what type of metal you have there, but i do know that 'artcarved' is a higher end jewelry company.

Palladium = $600 an ounce at todays prices. Much better than titanium lol. It is an alternative to Platinum for making white gold jewelry.
I have found one using my Excal II. Nice find.

i'm guessing the shell piece had another side to it and i think it may of held some ashes of the deceased when it was tossed
I was using an excal for this hunt
