Good evening all, So on Monday I took a day off work and decided to go down to a local swim beach and do some wading. I was there for about 4 hrs and found 2 silver rings and one ring I thought was Stainless. It had a inscription and thought why the heck would someone put a inscription on a junk rink and it felt kind of heavy, or heavier than others I have found for it's size? Any ways I finally thought about it tonight and busted out the acid test kits just to double check. It did not have a mark and again that made me think it was a stainless ring.
So anyways tonight I got out a couple known stainless items and tested them with the platinum acid and they melted away to nothing in a matter of 10 seconds. Then I scratched the ring I found on the stone and put the acid on. It held Shiny for a good 5 minutes till I was satisfied it was not going anywhere!!!
I am super stoked if it is, It was kind of like finding a $100 dollar Bill in your coat you found from last winter!! 8.25 grams and over $290 melt value!! Let me know if there is any other metal that holds up to Platinum acid and is very heavy feeling..
Acid pic is at about 3 minutes!!
