Treasure found in paradise!!!

in #steemsilvergold6 years ago

Hola from a slice of paradise on earth! The sun is warm and the water is cool in the paradise island of Ibiza, Spain!!

The shadow in the middle, doesn't it look like the tree of life design on the 2018 STEEM rounds? I am so looking forward to returning home to receive it!

Signs abound, warning the good folks to keep away from..... pirates!!

They must be hiding their stash somewhere.

The kids went eagerly into the calling waters, clear as can be. Snorkeling in the near shores, collecting shells. My niece caught a glimpse of round metal and picked it up.

And she found treasure!!

A ring, marked Handarbeit 925. 925 is the standard mark of sterling silver signifying 92.5% of silver content. A quick google search, Handarbeit is German for 'handmade'. This is not a mass produced piece.

The ring has some gold plating on the design elements on the triangles, and a small gem, not known if it is a real diamond or a clear crystal. What a great find!! We should have it appraised. This was found on a public beach, plenty of tourists and locals alike. I guess in this case, finders keepers?

Along the way, I have also seen @myprecious sisters painted on the walls. Perhaps they visit these shores sometimes?

Sort:  

We both are in Spain. I am in the mainland's north.

Sweet!! Hope to explore more of Spain next time. I picked up the most important phrase here: 'Cafe con leche, por favor'!!

I' am glad that you liked it in Ibiza ... it really a little paradise.

I can tell you something about your last photo:
It's about oil exploration off the coast of Ibiza, Formentera and Mallorca ... the whole Balearic Islands.

This picture on the wall says:
Ibiza says no to oil

This page is unfortunately in German ... but maybe you can translate it.

The following link is a petition to prevent oil exploration:
https://www.change.org/p/congreso-de-los-diputados-salvemos-nuestras-costas-no-prospecci%C3%B3n

Already in 2014, the search for oil was prevented with this petition.

I would be glad if you tell your friends and acquaintances .... you are welcome to share this link as well soon 🤗

Have a great day

Thanks! That is great information. Chrome was able to translate the page into English.
It is good that the natural beauty can be preserved without the risk of oil spills from exploration/drilling.

The humanes unfortunately makes nature and animals sick and broken.... it's very sad 😭
The sound cannons used for the oil exploration are 10,000 times louder than a jet and threaten to also with the underwater world was the fish and dolphins.

In 2014 it was publicized and successfully stopped the oil exploration in the Balearic Islands.
Also this year, the Spanish government is trying to keep it a secret, so I think it's very important to share it as often as possible.

Thank you very much and wish you a really wonderful day!👋

I hope you still continue having a good time!

Yes, I am.... alas, tonight is the last night. Heading out tomorrow morning. Ibiza truly is a paradise.
