Better than average tot lot junk jewelry find

[Xraywolf]

Usually don't post my junk finds, but this beluga is an exception.
Rang up as a dime, even at night in the glare of my headlight I knew it wasn't silver.
Weighs 16 g's, would have been nice if it was.
Still, better than average junk.

No doubt you know, but once you have handled dozens of silver items, you can tell almost instantly if its good or not.
Had me going maybe 2 seconds while I was wiping woodchip debris away from it and saw the glare of diamonds, but as soon as I got a grip on it and a good look, I knew it was plated junk.

Of course, that didn't stop me from almost tripping down the steps running to get my magnifying glass once I got home, just to confirm what I already knew.

I still like that ring. No matter how many times I pull a ring out of the ground I always hope for the best, but many times I get a nice piece of costume jewerly. I won't complain

COOL FIND

Most non metal detectors probably get the wrong impression when we describe something like this as "junk".
I for one sure don't throw any out.
My daughters snag up a few select pieces, the rest gets put in my junk jewelry box.
I'll start a junk jewelry thread some time, should be interesting.
