Default Found Ring #16 Today

thought the Gulf would be to rough so I hunted what I call my mud beach, a inland beach area that's not too active. Of course this is my second day with the Excalibur so I just want to get in some hours on it so I can learn it.

Got a junk ring but still a ring, it was deep and had been there a long time from the looks of it. I tried to clean it up as best I could.

Update cleaned it up a little more it does not stick to a magnet however with a x30 glass cant see any marking but maybe silver. I cleaned it with a silver rag and the black came off of it like it does on silver.
