Cant stop the treasure

[Eagleye]

So I haven't been able to do any metal detecting as I've been shifting out of my house for the past couple of weeks today was huge so we called it a day and I was off to the shop to grab a pizza. Walking along I was looking down and this big ol ring was sitting on the grass. Sticking out like a sore thumb.. So I plucked it.
No markings but really shiny, looks brand new. Tyre. I'll take it

Should have it tested. It has soft rounded edges unlike costume jewelry and the patina looks a lot like silver. Nice find.

Thanks for looking everybody, I just ran the xterra 705 over it and it comes up at 16 on the id. Found a similar ring on eBay but not the one.

Ok this is getting a little exciting people, I took it into my local metal detector store to see if They could shed some light on what I might have. Ran a magnet over it and she don't stick. He looked it over and said it could be platinum but it's strange it has no markings. Now I'm not getting my hopes up but if this is platinum I'd imagine it's worth a couple of bucks she's got some weight but I don't have any scales so can't tell you guys exactly. Is there any other tests I can do to determine what it is?

I'd lay my money on it being stainless steel or titanium. Actually, if you look at the picture of the other ring you found online, it looks identical and is marked stainless steel. I found a similar ring in stainless recently.

hmm titanium, I never thought about that. The one from eBay is different as it has a sharp edge and the one I found is soft/rounded and the grooves come right around the edge. I've been wearing it all day.. I think it's growing on me

Nice find.......I have been metal detecting almost 30 years and I tend to eye ball a lot of stuff. I guess we are always looking down! At one club hunt at a local beach we had a prize for first gold found, when they said go I took about 3 steps and eyeballed a gold woman's necklace. I won the prize in about 7 seconds! Keep swinging and keep looking down!

I remember long ago...When My Father used me to teach children with down syndrome how too write poetry in San. Francisco,CA Shoot...The American Cancer donated over 50 THousand dollars to the local library and school district...Hmm...I know it had nothing to do with tips from the parents of the children with down syndrome...Or did it Who can say for certainhehehe Cheers

Hi Ed t, that's really great you did some work with the Down syndrome kids, that really says a lot about somebody. keep up the good work buddy, the more money donated to such a worthy cause the better I say. The kids and their family's deserve all the help they can get. Peace

Just a quick update guys. I was at the jewellery store dropping of a chain to be repaired and was browsing around and spotted some mens rings they had which looked like the same metal.. Tungsten! Oh well next time
