Found my first piece of .830 silver last night

Paul4x4 · Sep 18, 2009

We hit the foil loaded beach again last night with my friend, and I managed to find a nice silver ring with a stone of some sort. I'm sure some one here is able to tell what it is. It came under 13-44 on the E-Trac if I remember correctly, and after I checked the markings, I was surprised to find it's marked .830, and not .925 sterling like every other silver jewelry I have found. Less silver, but it still is silver, and that's what matters the most, right? 8)

€12.60 ($18.56) this time, and that would be my record for the season, but I have already dug the exact same amount two weeks ago! If I had known that while hunting, I would have looked for just one more coin to top the record... :BangHead:

Well, I'm gonna try harder tonight! :P

EDIT: Now I noticed that I have only €10.60 in the picture... I'm sure I lost two euros somewhere before I took the pic, or, I just counted them wrong, which I doubt of course!

Great job.....getting through all that trash is a bummer. I hunt for 1600's to present coins, and still find a bunch of scrap that dates a hundred or more years old. We people love to throw away trash, I think.
Love that ring. Any idea about the stone? Would like to visit Finland, as I have read about it and seen some beautiful pictures of it.....but nearing the end of my life, so probably won't be able to ever get there. So, nice to hear about finds being made there. Best of luck in the future. :thumbsup:
