  2. A Sweetheart Ring?

    I spotted this ring at the thrift shop and decided to get it. There are two hearts on each side of the stone, in time for Valentine's Day. It has substance, not light in weight. The stone is quite large and I'm wondering if it's a zircon? There is a sterling mark inside the band with a logo that...
  3. WWll Sterling Relic Found!!

  8. Sterling Buckle

    I recovered this Sterling Buckle in on 12.15.2019 in Lamar County, Mississippi, and wanted to know if anyone had any idea of approximately what year it was made and who it was made by. Other than the "sterling" mark on it, I can find no other marks of any kind.

    Hello fellow treasure searchers! :) Do you think this is real silver? It has no markings. I thought it was a washer so I put it away for a week and forgot to ask my Dad if he thought it was one or not. After pulling it out again I realized it must be a ring because it's so think and has no...

  18. What does 925 OBJ mean?

    I dug this cross on Saturday and I'm wondering what this stamp means. My best guess is that the clasp or loop is 925 sterling but the cross itself may be silver plated? I thought it would be a simple Google search but it hasn't been. Thanks
