Title: Bulky ring age? Post by: The Ferret on December 01, 2011, 10:48:21 PM Hi guys
This was one of my first rings I found a while back in July @ Berrow Beach I think its brass/bronze heavy for its size and very chunky!! Title: Re: Bulky ring age? Post by: The Ferret on December 01, 2011, 10:55:49 PM Wow that's a man sized ring, are you sure it's not gold? brass or Bronze is unusual on more modern rings because of turning your skin green. Interesting I'll see if I can find anything similar for you. Hi Chef Not sure I will have to dig it out of my finds tray and bring it to next meeting on 10th. This was my first ring I found ever and it was my missus that dug it for me ;DCheers Tf Title: Re: Bulky ring age?

Yes bring it along, the underside of the setting looks as if it may be gold plated and maybe that would eplainf the copper alloy ??? It looks like smoky quartz Title: Re: Bulky ring age?
