Found this first today. It's about the size of a dime and stamped 925. But when I got home I noticed there was some flaking. Why would 925 be flaking?? :icon_scratch: Rang up as 81 on AT Pro which could be silver. I can't tell if that is IA or LA after the 925. Any ideas?

It's hard to see, but at about 2:30 and 6:30 you can see some of the flaking. Granted, what is beneath looks silver also.


Other side...



I'm sure this is junk. I'm just not sure what exactly it was? Any thoughts? :dontknow:





I had high hopes for this when I spotted it in the hole. Unfortunately, I can't find any markings. One odd thing is the dome part of the inside is dark. (Grayish, almost black.) So could this be real even though I can't find any marks? Rang up around 84 on the ATP.



Here is the dark area. It was hard to get a decent picture.


And finally a 925 ring.



Sorry for the dirt on some of them. I haven't gave them all a good cleaning yet. Just rinsed them off.

Thanks for looking and offering any help you can.

the top I would say it's a charm and the 925 is sterling silver. the flower ring.. Could be a Hibiscus Flower, it has 5 petals... I see that is also a sterling silver ring...
maybe the other to could also be sterling silver. nice find..

I have something exactly like the third picture, I think its a 19th century hairclip. Mine has the clip on the back. Mine is a different design but the same shape.
 
I was thinking tie clip...nice finds!
 
Thanks for the responses. I just realized I didn't put anything in the pics for scale. The odd long thing is about 5 inches long. Based on the little metal pieces in the small end, I think it's modern. My wife thought it look like a part to eye glasses, and I guess it could be. Seems like that would be uncomfortable though.
