9ct white gold ring
hammy with no date not sure what it is ??? ??? ???

nice result bud ;)

lovely finds coin doesnt look like a hammered could be some sort of token
 ;)

A good night's work, Jim.

its not a hammered but it looks pretty damn old !!
could be a local token might be worth taking it to haverfordwest castle museum they might know.
could be silver but looks a bit like lead ?
put some lemon juice on it and wrap it in tin foil and leave for 20 mins .if it stinks of sulpher its silver if it doesnt its prob some lead based metal.
It wont harm the coin either way.

Lemon juice and silver paper ??? just water will do, Lemon juice is an acid so can harm coins especially neat ;)

 20 MIN ? you only need to wrap a coin up for seconds for a reaction to take place

Great finds Jimi, a lot of the gold rings that I've bought off detectorists have been brittle.

you done well jim.b carefull when cleaning.vinigar and foil i use but that can b a sit much on times

The vinegar again ??? why vinegar it isn't doing anything with the foil that water doesn't do.

I thought lead turned white when old and if it is lead how's the best way to clean it up n get some of the shine back

tried water and foil and personally i dont find it as effective as vinigar.everyone to there own i guess

Your own spit and the shiny side of the foil. Couple of minutes just to prove its silver. Again it's acid but it's your own.
Nice finds though well saved.

The foil and water only works with silver.
If it did not work it's not silver.

Cud some one please tell me wot it could be
I no it's lead n maybe ??? a token that's all I no
There is no date to go on and it was found on a beach

So does any one no what it mite be or if they've seen it before pleeeeeeeease

Jim it looks to be the wrong colour for lead? old lead what's been in the ground for years goes a white ish colour, iv never seen lead out the ground look like that before....... Im not saying its not lead, as your the one with it in your hand, and anyone knows a bit of lead :)

I see its beach lead iv never did beach detecting before so it may well be ;)
It could be a amusement token, if there's one near the beach?  

Ther is nothing anywhere near this beach dale I found it next to an old ship wreck at the bottom of a rock pool if that helps at all

Cheers mate for trying to find out for me is there anywhere I could look or research to find out more about it I,m really intreaged as to wot it mite be or least get some back ground or a date of wen they were made

Have you tried to clean it yet? that may help a little

I've washed it dale in water and I also tryed vinegar but still no good I don't no how to clean lead
Don't no wot else to try ???

Probably a long shot, could it be a pewter jeton.

Wots a Jetton John  ???
