A little silver this afternoon..and another bogus "Tiffany & Co"....

Two hour hunt in dry sand late this afternoon yielded a pretty silver ring.......and a disappointing small heart medallion marked "Tiffany & CO. 925" ::)

Next time............. :icon_sunny:

Here's some pics...thanks for looking

Those are some nice finds. What testing kit are you using for the silver?

What a beautiful ring! Is the stone real? Either way it sure looks good in the collection!

Please look at the ring closely, Lorrain. The ring looks like 325 V3 to me, not 925 M3 as you state. May suggest low-grade white gold alloy. Which could be why it doesn't look right to you. But it _may_ be the real thing!

Another great hunt Lorraine! Nice ring love to see them in the scoop. Poor conditions down my way. I need to start moving around more!

Thank you, Jason,

It's a kit with both gold and silver acid testing liquids..here's a pic.

Thanks , Tuberale

I checked the stamping again..I'm sure it is 925 MO; but just to be absolutely sure, I "MIZER" tested it....negative for gold.

Maybe next time.

Checked it again..it's 925, and an acid test confirmed that it is not gold...

It is very light weight , also. Maybe next time I 'll do better.
