A little bit of this and a little bit of that, and a silver ring at high tide today

[lorraine]

Hi

Days are getting shorter and cutting into the low tide time table

Hunted these past two days in the mid-day sunlight at the high tide line where I found a few low lying areas devoid of the fluffy sand...down to the gray flat surface of the slope.

Found lots of clads yesterday ( no photo), and today it was clads, sinkers, and an ornate Sterling ring with the year"62 inscribed under the face of the ring.

Yesterday was my Birthday , and today's ring find was a nice post Birthday gift

Here's some pix...thanks again for looking at my finds

Hi Lorraine. I was ready to type that the ring would be gorgeous when it was cleaned up and then I saw the cleaned up version. It certainly is!

how did you clean it up so nice?

how did you clean it up so nice?

Thank you, mnruxpin,

There are many ways to clean heavily tarnished silver; below is the method that I use:

Soak in Tar -X ; followed by a rinse in warm water, and then scrub with baking soda and a soft toothbrush;

repeat the above process until all tarnish is removed; finish off with Jeweler's rouge buffing.
