After finding 2 nice silver rings, when I was coin hunting (they both rang up like silver coins)...… I took a bunch of my wife's jewelry outside and sampled them for ID number's. I did some modifications to my program mode of my CTX and set out to find some rings.

At the first place I found a 1943 Merc. and a Sterling ring...

The next day, at another place, I didn't find a ring, but, I did find a 1948 Merc. and a Heavy 14K Gold Earring... (4 Grams)

Hi Tom, I found it at a summer camp for family's, that is over 100 years old , but, is still in use to this day....but, The earring can't be too old, because it has a post for pierced ear's and a spring type holder to snug to the ear after putting thru the ear.. The piece that's standing up is spring loaded to clamp.

Still a beauty - it has the look of older craftsmanship. Nice finds!

Cool Finds!

My wife wore earings like that back in the 70s. But not saying they could have been earlier.
