First Ring! (and my other stuff to date)

[SonjaMarie]

Another nice day out so out I went again to the yard. At first it was just junk and a signal I couldn't find what it was after digging for awhile so I gave up on it and moved alone the edge of our walk way when I got this insistent signal.

I dug a swatch of dirt and flipped it over and I spotted what I thought was just the edge of a pull tab or a hook like I found a few days before, but when I picked it up it was neither it was a RING! (see photos attached).

I then detected a bit more, another signal I couldn't find the item for and a penny later on, so a bit of a come down from the RING but I'm stll happy!

Here are the photos of the ring and my other finds since I got the MD (well excluding the garbage). The pretty young girl holding the unicorn is my niece Harmony.

Very nice digs, that is a good looking ring. Much more to come I am sure.

 

[SonjaMarie]

The only markings I can find on the ring are 625 or 525 it's very faint

That's a very nice ring! I would say it's old any markings on the inside?

Onion,

As I posted already lol it looks like 625 or 525 but it's too faint to really see well.

Id say 625 or 925 .............. silver

 

[OnionRings]

Sorry missed that in your post I would think it's 925 sterling silver! This ring is worth some money I think that i would get it appraised

Nice finds, sonja. And all this time you were worried about not finding anything but junk. Patience, persiverence, skill, and a bit of luck makes all the difference. You've come a long way in a short time-keep it up. Gotta love that ring. HH

 

[Darod]

Lots of neet stuff there! Great job!

That ring is superb. I agree with Onion, I'd have it looked at by a pro and get an appraisal on it.

Couldn't hurt.

Good work Sonja Marie! I knew that you would find some good stuff. Remember just the other day you commented on wishing that you would find a ring. Looks like wishes do come true. A very nice ring & you found it yourself. Makes you feel good doesn't it? Keep up the good work. Spotz

Hey Sonja. You're getting a nice collection. You better start thinking about an addition to your home or a new outbuilding to store all your treasures in 'cause there's no cure for this treasure hunting disease. HH~CO2

 

[stoney56]

And just like that toy plane, now you're in a Tale Spin. HaHa. HH

 

[SonjaMarie]

Stoney! That's where that comes from the cartoon "Tale Spin" I used to watch that years ago. I don't think it's worth much though.

My remember seeing it on TV on Saturday's. My problem though is I've got a lot of memories, just can't find shovel big enough to dig 'em up. HH

Sonja Marie! The more I look at that ring, the more I agree with every one else. I think it may be a VERRY nice antique & you should have it appraised for value. Take the time to have it done by at least three different jewlers. Spotz
