Unusual ring

FoiledAgain · Sep 29, 2018

I love this fall weather. We had a nice sunny day with a crisp edge in the air, low wind, and calm sea. I spent 3 hours prospecting some waist-deep sand bars that lie over a harder subbottom. As usual, there were not a lot of targets, but I did find a neat silver ring that sports a small red stone and has two spinners on it (one silver, one gold). The ring cleaned up beautifully with a little elbow grease and Mother’s polish. I also found a toe ring that I thought might be silver when it came up in the scoop, but it turned out to be steel with remnants of a thin gold film. The metal/glass cylinder is an oddity that I’m guessing may be part of an electronic cigarette, but I really have no idea. Looking forward to some more great fall days in the water!

Unusual doesn't explain it, but precious metal does. Nice.

Thanks guys. It's an eye catcher all right. The hammered silver makes it really stand out. It would be interesting to know the maker.

That is an interesting ring. I like it. Very unique

The metal piece is part of an electronic cig.

Nice ring indeed! Congrats on your finds. It Cleaned up very nicely. How difficult a job was it cleaning it up? I have several silver rings I would like to do the same, any suggestions?

melbajoe · Sep 30, 2018

that's a neat ring- and you really did a great job on that cleanup. Mothers polish you say?

I find that ring to be beautiful and I bet would fetch a really nice amount way over melt value. :yes:

I haven't heard anyone use "trick" since 1979/80.
