Silver Ring, cool cross and some misc. finds

[pepperdawg]

Hi

Hit up 2 soccer fields on way home yesterday - 925 ring and cross were within 2 feet of each other in front of team benches (permanent benches sunk in a concrete pad). Ironically they were the last finds of the day as I was out of time……facility has 4-5 more benches - needless to say I will be stopping there on the way home today

Nice silver 925 ring with a blue stone - will go to my 8 y/o daughters collection




Cross is clean and in great shape - but not sure if its silver or not - no rust/corrosion, but not stamped 925/hallmark - is double sided - has religious pics/marking on both sides - some I don’t recognize - I forgot to get a pic of the back. Anyone have any details about?




At a different soccer field earlier I had found some clad a key and a smith and forge cider keyring/token. Mmm hard cider..



Of the clad - found a clean 1965 (DAMMIT) quarter, and nice 1950 wheat and 1959 canuckistan penny.




Thanks for looking - HH!!

From the appearance of that cross it certainly looks to be silver,and I am sure your daughter will cherish that nice ring.

Thx guys - one more from the same bench/park/field




on the way home last nite - a "Diamond" stud earring......was fun to find. Cheap gold-tone 'metal' and the diamond didnt pass the 'breath test' very well. The stud snapped when I was brushing the dirt off it.

Looks like an old cross old stuff didn't have hallmarks run it under your detector see if it shows silver vdi good finds Thanks fort sharing em!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If the cross isn't marked, I will almost guarantee it is silver plate. I find a lot of that style underwater. Most are silver plated brass but some are marked sterling. I have never seen one that was sterling that isn't marked. Nice digs

Thx all - I thank I can make out an ITALY stamp under one of the symbols on the cross but don't see a 925 - so guessing its plated - but its in great condition, so my wife put in on a chain and gave it to our 8 y/o son - he likes it so that's what matters.

Jessie loves the ring - she says its the fanciest one I found yet

Thx all.
