Family member will be graduating from the academy soon.
I was already told no on a Rolex.
I thought about a piece of gold shipwreck treasure but don’t want to jinx anything.
Any decent as in nice ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks

Spanish Main Antiques in St Augustine had some neat stuff. Roman coins, recovered gold, and a variety of coins

A buddy of mine got a gold shipwreck coin in a gold mount that is pretty nifty.

Cash.  Seriously.  A new grad is going to be moving a lot between specialty schools and first assignment.  The last thing they need is some nick-nac to drag around or leave at their parents house.  

They will have a lot of expenses.  Uncle Sam will not be paying for everything like he did when they were at the boat school.

A high polish stainless Colt 1911 engraved with naval motifs and stocked with carved ivory inlayed with the Anapolis and Navy seals, one on each grip panel, in gold of course.

A number for the local US Army recruiter's office so he can have a chance at being a hero.     I KID, I KID.   Seriously it depends on his choice of duty:

1) Surface fleet - A nice antique compass, high end binoculars, or gold medallion.
2) Aviator or Special Warfare - A high-end knife
3) Submarine fleet - money for the psych evaluation.

Well, unless it has changed once someone graduates from a service academy, they can select any service they want.
