3 gold for the long weekend

[birdman]

Hi all, I hunted the whole weekend at low tide and ended up with three gold. Not sure what to think about the swastika ring .
I doubt it is a WW2 relic of any kind.

What a great weekends work well done! The swastika is a symbol much older than ww2, I doubt it is anything to do with that bad stuff, it used to be a peace symbol

Those are some nice ones.. WTG...what's the K?....Boy Scout's used the Swastika b4 WW2 as did many others,most as a good luck symbol....four L's connected meaning Life,Love,Luck,and Light is the one I read and like.

Yours is not a swastika, it's a Buddhist good luck symbol. A German swastika, when oriented like a cross, will show the left protrusion pointing straight up. Yours, when oriented the same, shows the left protrusion pointing left. So, it's not sieg heil, it's zen.

I agree with VBDave,


This link will help explain your find:

What is the meaning of a Swastika?

Good link NEBeachcomber! I am going to save her for a rainy day and then I will have no problem melt her down now that i know it is no WW2 relic.

Most people I contact say the gold finds are less than previous years. More competition or less losses? Both?
