I head down there frequently but have not found any rings. Heaps of coins, horse shoes, tent peg, beer cans, a watch and heaps of other crap. But I have only just started to go to the waters edge. The sand is fairly deep at Goolwa and its a long beach.
If I turn one up I will message you.

What on earth is "cockling"?

Little shelfish are Cockles. Never tried them. The asian people along our coastline in Qld. are stripping them from the shores.

Cockling is out fossicking for pippies or cockles which shellfish we use for fishing bait here is SA ...

Bit of white wine, sweet chilli sauce, cream and some cockles stirfried in a wok. Ohh sooo yummm. But I can walk down the beach get a couple of dozen for entree anytime when in season.

Love em.

I have a Thai girlfriend, what I used to throw over the side working on prawn trawlers she considers delicacies and given a a few basic ingredients she turns "bait" into a 5 star meal.

cockles are often called clams in other countries

Cockles or Pippies are dug or toed by every fisherman I know. I know some pretty greedy nationalities other than Asians as you say that drag the beach and stuff it also looking for bait, food or treasure. Another inane comment.

Cockle, Pippie or clam. Great tucker, better bait. We dig them down Nelson way and use them to catch big whiting off Portland.

Thanks to everyone for the explanation, I had never heard of it. I know when I lived down south that Stockton Beach near Newcastle was stripped bare of Pippies,Cockles, Eugeries (not sure of the spelling but used in Qld,apparently) by some seafood lovers and that also had a bad effect on the Jewfish fisherman,sad but true. We had a similar situation in Brissie a few years ago with blokes and cast nets collecting prawns by the tinnie full,bad news.
Anyway hope the ring gets found while Cockling hahahaha.
