Storms, Tides, and Treasure: Silver Blade & Golden Find

Last week we had a good storm roll through. On my first outing after the weather cleared, I made an incredible discovery — a pirate knife, old and crafted from sterling silver with an ivory handle.

Despite its age, the knife is sharp and almost pristine — a real piece of history!

I waited for the tides to shift again and returned to the area. That’s when I uncovered something truly stunning — an 18kt massive diamond horseshoe ring.

The size, sparkle, and uniqueness of this ring make it a standout find.
