Well some of you might know I have been finding the silver rings as of late... I think I got some kind of silver ring spell on me or something!

I was going through my junk pile and I spotted this ugly ring... I dunno why I decided to look closer but I did and I am glad I did! This is a good lesson for all of us... Keep the junk and go trough it from time to time... you be glad you did!

A hole in one! Don't see many blank rings lost.

Most of mine are missing the stones... usually bent up...

Also I have never had much luck finding the stones.

I have two other silver rings that have stones I may put them on here to get them identified.

How could you miss the mark and that nice tarnish :dontknow:. In some places they believe that holed stones bring one luck. I hope a holed ring will bring you a lot of silver.

There are several reason why things like that got missed...

That was a very dirty ring...
I have better equipment (Better Camera, Magnifying Glass, Microscope, Light)
I now know my eyes alone and not good enough...
I am more educated...

Well I hope the luck of the silver holed ring is with me, I found 3 silver rings with holes in them in the last few months.

Thanks for looking!

I have a junk bucket, and go through it before sending it off to recycle, for just that reason. Sometimes there is a dirt clod that gets attached to a larger junk piece, and it can hold something worthwhile.
