✅ SOLVED Silver Thimble?

[Snoorks]

It's obviously a thimble. Pretty sure it's silver and I'm not sure if the stones are turquoise. Any more information on this would be appreciated. Thanks!

It certainly LOOKS like a silver thimble. There should be a hallmark, but it could be under the decoration. Not sure about the stones, they look a lot like turquoise. Probably the nicest thimble I have seen. did you dig it?

 

[CRUSADER]

Is there a hallmark on the inside edge? (or anywhere else) It does look silver.

 

[Snoorks]

Yep I dug it today. There's one stone missing on the opposite side and it is bent a bit as well. I'm hoping I didn't hit it with my shovel. Grrr. lol. BTW I subbed to your YT silverfiend.

 

[Snoorks]

Well I just looked at it again and on the side that is bent there are some numbers. "800" Should I try to bend it out so it looks better?

 

[Mackaydon]

The 800 represents the percentage of silver based on 1000; or 80%.
There should be another single digit number present that represents the size.
Yours looks similar to this one with the turquoise cabochons:
