I'm not so sure about this silver find today...could be a low grade? ..just not sure
Hi,
I'm wondering if there are lower grades of silver than the usual .925...think I read somewhere that there is.
Anyway, this morning I dropped Hank off at the golf course and headed for a near-by beach for mostly dry sand detecting as the tide was at its highest. Later did a bit of wet as the tide receded.
Found a '57 "Roosie and an earring ..both in dry sand
Problem with the earring is that there is no stamping , but tested + for silver ...still I question the grade of the silver. There were some rusty spots on the earring when I pulled it from the sand..possibly was near some iron.
I kinda think with secure manner that the pretty stones are set, and also the weight , that it is some quality of silver.
Well, here's a couple of pics
If anyone has info on silver grades...please share ; otherwise I'll check some internet sites.
Thanks for looking
Lorraine
