Death in the sand

[baylorhall]

I found this in a sand volleyball court. Who would wear this 2" sterling grim reaper?? Thought it was a saint or something until I cleaned it off.

Kinda Creepy... But Congrats on the Silver

I would wear it if it was gold. Wearing silver just isn't my thing. Cool find.

This is going to sound like a stupid question,but are you sure it's Silver? Yeah I know it has 925 on it... I am asking cause at the store I work at we had some stuff similar to what you found that was marked 925 an I know for a fact it wasn't silver.. China is sometimes marking items 925 to deceive the us consumer now

Most precious metals made in Mexico are marked as such..I do not see anywhere a Mexico mark.. I'm pretty sure this is made in CHINA an I have m,y doubts about it being sterlings... Hopefully I am wrong,but I have seen plenty of these types of items at the store I work....

Maybe it was the same person that lost the jeweled silver dagger.

There wasn't any goth/punk concerts in the area were there?

I've found a pretty good amount of fake silver and gold jewelry from Mexico. They will mark obvious plated rings, bracelets, pendants, etc., as sterling or 14k. They have a pretty good racket going faking out American tourists.

If I was him I would get it tested cause I am fairly sure it's not sterling...

 

[minton7]

idk about his ace 250 but my XLT would tell me if it was silver or not.... id start with that

 

[baylorhall]

Thanks for the info everyone. I will have it tested. Found it at a lake park volleyball court after the 4th. Silver or not, I still like it.

Yes it's a really nice Find...I am not trying to take from your find just giving you a heads up about fakes sterling I have seen

My 13 year old 'scene girl' daughter would kill for that! Nice find!

 

[baylorhall]

Yeah, I thought my 12 year old son would probably like it, too! I'm just a 50+ mom so it's not quite my style!
