Oh my goodness!!! I found the hockey ring yesterday, and today I found ANOTHER about a foot away from the hockey ring!!! What kind of stone is it? What do you think it's safe worth? it okey to put it in hot water and baking soda to clean it up? I'm not sure if the baking soda will harm the stone. I still can't believe it!!! I hardly got any sleep yesterday because I found the hockey ring... guess it's another sleepless night for me!!! Lol

Ok that's what I thought. Boy, before I always thought that if I found a silver ring it would be worth a hundred a least... but when I found my first silver coins and brought em in and checked prices on the Internet I realized that silver is not nearly as valuable as I thought. Still it adds up and if you find a nice one it is very nice to wear. Unfortunately the only ones I've found so far aren't ones I'd wear.

Congrats on those to sweet rings. If you want to know an estimated value, do like the rest of us do and search ebay and see what they have recently sold for.
Good idea

Keep this up and you could open your own jewelry store and polish them for free lol. But if you can't get a free polish there are silver cleaners you can buy.

By the way, even if they are not worth much you never know what people might pay on Ebay for something they desire.

That first ring might have some collector value, or, If you find the person who lost it, there might be a decent reward for it's return. There's only a few dollars in silver value, but, as a ring, there are people who would pay more. How much more is anybody's guess.

That Hockey Ring is AWESOME!!! I bet if you look into it you would be able to execute a Ring Return on that bad boy!! For Modern Silver Jewelry I just use a tiny amount of Organic Toothpaste and Purified Water to shine them up...I highly suggest no one do this to any Coins though!

Congratulations on the Siver ring. Pick up a jeweler’s rouge cloth from amazon and use it to buff out the silver rings. Do not use baking soda on the stones. Best of luck!

Happy Hunting
Forgot about the Holiday weekend. Ill mail it first thing in the am. I included the directions for it and a holder you can carry it in , I have many of them so Ill pass one on to you. I love this hobby and the tnet family many great people on here. Let me know if you have any questions or need help with it. I recently sold my At Pro to a tnetter for a really good price, Kellyco does payment plans and sells refurbished detectors if your looking for an upgrade. I have found tons of rings , gold and silver coins and everything in between this hobby is a lot of fun. Take care hope to see some more great finds from you!!!!!! Tommy Here is one of those things that make this hobby so awesome one of my ring returns and the return letter. July 11, 2017
Dear Tommy,
I had to write you to say THANK YOU.
Forty three years ago my husband and I met in college at Concordia Junior College. We started dating and like some couples did back then we exchanged high school class rings. My ring did not fit my husband/boyfriend very well so he wrapped it with yarn to fit. He and some buddies played a softball game. He was in the outfield and removed his glove. Later her realized he didn’t have the ring. He and his buddies searched the field. Couldn’t find it. He and I went back the next day and searched. Couldn’t find it. We graduated from junior college and went to Concordia College in Seward, NB to finish school. We got married, moved a few times, had four children and three grandchildren. I had forgotten about the ring. About two months ago my sister in law sent me a message asking “Did you lose your class ring?”. I said “Yes I did”. She said “I think we found it”. I said “Where?”. She said “Someone found your ring in a park near Ann Arbor.”. We celebrated our 40[SUP]th[/SUP] wedding anniversary on Sunday. So for our 40[SUP]th[/SUP] I got my class ring. My husband likes to say he put my ring in that field so he could give it to me on our 40[SUP]th[/SUP] anniversary. I feel kind of bad. I had his ring smashed and made into a tie tack.
So again I say thank you and God bless you.​
