I was sorting out what to put in the bin from todays trip and when I picked up what I thought was a washer or something, I noticed the black stuff was peeling off.  I had a little prod and poke, as you do, and I think I might (just might) have found a tiny GOLD ring.
Pici attached,  what do you think ??


Val

yes it looks like one part of a set of three val , i remember these from years ago

Could well be JCB.  I know they still make 'cut out' rings that fit around an Engagement ring. Never seen one this thin before though.
I picked it up and said to Hubby 'If I can find this I know I can find a ring if I walk over it'  Ha!.Great.

Val

well found indeed Val

my dear wife found this a few years ago and it was dated anytime from 1711

oooh nice val  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

yes val i dont think you will have any problems finding bigger thicker rings if that thin one gave a good signal , good luck val and well found

Many thanks for your comments. I've tried hard enough for the past 4 years so I reckon it's about due. ;)

Cant see any hall marks, do you think that means any thing.

Well found val, just need to get back and find the stones  ;D ;D

That sent me diving for the magnifier.   Whew !   no, there's no sign of any mounts for stones. ;D


Val

Lol, did c a plain one aswell.  :)

Next time Rog, next time. ;)

Val

Nice find Val, lets hope it is gold ;)


What a lovely ring your wife found Alan, did you get it restored? am I right in saying it was a puzzle ring

                                    Flippin eck Val, I would have thought that the presentation box was a good clue to it being a gold ring, and the box is in such good condition as well!!!!   ;D

Congrats Val well deserved :)

Well done val. At least it wasn't in a ratners box so it might well be gold lol ;)

Hubby says , aren't we a daft lot, they're probably saying to themselves, thank the lord she's finally found some gold, now we can all have some peace.    Me, I say we've all got a special kind of humour.

Dale, fairly sure it is gold. Yipeeeee.  I did it. Now for the big stuff  ::) 

Chris, That box is wearing better than me.  A good argument for sitting doing nothing  ;)

Thanks for the comments, much appreciated.

Val 

Iam going to stick my neck out and say its at Tudor at least, as its got that ancient gold look 92 percent gold or there about...Its the right colour Val to be old ...more yellow than modern 22 carat ..my opinion Val ..

Had to bore you with this one.  Isn't Mother Nature wonderful. Eyes only find but must admit first glance I thought it was a ring.
And a better pic of the other one.

Val

I spotted that large item in your other post Val, I thought it was a ring? what is it.

Amazingly it's a shell surrounded by mollusc excretions.  I've painted it with clear nail varnish to preserve the fine filigree made by the molluscs otherwise it would just break down and drop off.

Val

Hey well done Val on both those finds. Now we've got a female Badger on our hands :D :D

Is that Dylan hiding in there somewhere ?  Name change, pici change, I can't keep up.

Long way to go before I'm anywhere near Badger.  Just nice to shout about my 1st gold ring.  Being so small, as well, it gives me hope that I will find another one. That's assuming I can get near the beach. Went yesterday and couldn't even get in the Car Park.  Ah Well, with age comes understanding. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR   I hate all those visitors  >:(

Still. if it weren't for them there wouldn't be any finds on the beach  :-\

Val

Yes it's me ...[.I think.] Stand outside the car park and take their parking money off them before the drive in. Then run like Hell ;D ;D

Bet there's NO One there now.  And I'm not going in this weather either.  I'll just sit and be bored while John watches Spiderman 3.   OMG  I think he's going ......backwards. ::)


Val

 ;D ;D ;D

Nice find val I used to have a set of them myself  :)

Here you are val!!, and it will putr your mind at rest  ;D it did mine lol.

Thanks for the link Roger.  Might treat myself to some, then I'll have to work twice as hard to find another ring to test. ::)

Thanks Gil. Must admit that's one fashion I missed. I did see a lot of thin bangles but never rings.


Val

just tried it on my thimble ring hoping it was gold  ;) straight away it came in as brass  :( oh well it's still a 15th century find  ;) ;)

nice find val  :) and a nice bit of craft work

Steve, are you talking about the shell ring.  Wasn't my craft work, that's how I found it.  Mother Nature, she takes a bit of beating. ;)

Val

Well it says Samuells on the box so it must be gold. ;D
