I thought some members would like to see the use of electrolosis in action to clean a silver ring.
I found a small sterling ring yesterday morning in a lake. It is an antique kids birthstone ring.
I have found several of these same rings with different colored stones over the years.
When silver is lost in the water it turns black. If it has been there a long time it develops a black crust like this one.
Below you will see the before, during, and after affects of using the electrolosis. I plan to put together a video or do a live talk at our detecting club meeting next month on the subject.
