I got out Saturday for a few hours to hunt the sidelines. I got a 12 34 with a tone slightly higher than at Zincoln. It turned out to be a silver ring but when I got home I noticed it was marked 950. It did not test for platinum but silver was positive. I also got a Ruff Ryder's pendant the tested good for silver. This is a hip hop record label that is now defunct. I also got two more junk rings for #67-69 for the year.

Jim that ring is sweet, the pic doesn't do it justice.

That's a bit unusual , I've found maybe two silvers that were hallmarked .950 - one a pendant , the other a ring - both I think
were from Mexico - normally Mexican jewelry, is rather extensively hallmarked , beyond just the silver quality mark . Argentium.

Congrats on both of your finds, wonder if the defunct hippity hop record label is worth anything other than the silver value? Got to be a diehard fan out there somewhere. Congrats again and best of luck, hope you find more.
