Default Found a ring!
Today my trusty little bounty hunter 202 sniffed out a ring

it is made up of 6 rings.

It says 925NV8 which means 925 purity, neveda silver, size 8

well who made this? and is it worth anything? and your if you wondering why there is hair on the knuckles, im a dude.

Looks old to me. Not sure what 8 rings could symbolize. Don't pursue a career as a hand model...

That's a coincidence. When I was detecting our local playing field a couple of months back, I found something very similar, although damaged. I'll take a picture.

Not as similar as I thought, and I hope you don't mind me putting my picture on here too ?
I don't have any idea on age, but a lot of the coins in the same area were dating back as far as the late 1800's. Although it may not be anything like that old ?

That is nice. I found one like that awhile back but it is 14k gold.

Nice looking ring.......those look like the outside edges from some old silver coins.

i dont think it had been lost long as it was only a half inch in the dirt, and had no tarnish on it, at first i thought it was stainless, but it wasnt

its 6 rings not 8

im going to take it to a pawn shop...not to see what it is worth because they wont give me much, but to see what it is.
