Silver find in old park

[Idahohunter]

Detected an old park by a school and found this nice, heavy silver ring. I got kind of a funny signal on my MXT with an indication the target was at 3-4 inches. I dug out the plug and out popped this ring. I don't find much silver so I was excited.

Awesomesauce!!! I've only been detecting for about a month now. Still waiting on my first piece of gold/silver. WTG!

Nice ringy dingy!
I also run an MXT and have been MDing just over a month. May I ask what the funny signal was like and what your settings were on your MXT?

Is that platinum, all encrusted with diamonds?

I was hunting in Coin & jewelry mode with gain of about 8 with disc set at just above "pull tab". The screen reading was vacillating between pull tab and penny/dime. It was a strong signal with no "break up". I try to dig everything with a strong signal.

To Gleaner1....I am not sure if it is silver, I guess it could be platinum? There are no markings on the ring so I kind of doubt if it is platinum. No diamonds, the ring is very heavy and non magnetic. It is cut into kind of braids and is woven into a rope like design and the top is knurled to make the metal shine in the light. I will post a better picture of the top.
One thing was a little strange. It was about 4 inches down past the grass so I would guess it had been in the ground for several years. When it popped out it was not tarnished at all. I thought at the time if it was silver it would have been a little discolored?

It looks better than silver, maybe it is platinum. Get it checked by a good jeweler and let us know.

Nice ring it sure dont look like silver , it looks like tungsten the way it shines most tungsten rings are not marked and you said its non ferrous ?

Nice find!
Whatever it's made of, it's the shiniest ring I've ever seen come out of the ground. Keep us posted.

You should be excited, that's a nice ring!

Yes, the ring is non ferrous. No mark of any kind tells me it is not a real expensive ring. It is a heavy ring....is tungsten heavy?

Hi

Ring problems hu ?

Generally any ring made of Silver, Tungsten, or Platinum will have a mark. Most jewelry that is not marked is almost always cheap metal of some kind. They hardly ever put diamonds with silver too. I'm going to have to say this is a costume jewelry piece and not made of any precious metals, sorry.

Still good to find a ring !!

Keep @ it and HH !!
