Hey everyone , hope you all had a great first week of 2012 hunting and finding silver & gold ! I got out for three hunts this weekend at four different schools . Total hours about 8 . On Saturday I only found clad in the morning and on the 2nd hunt with my Son I found a nice 925 silver chain . It weighs 24 grams ! Then this morning I got out with my hunting buddy Ryan ( EAGLEFORCE ) and hunted two schools . The first I found one small junk ring and clad . We moved on to another school that has given up a little of everything . After about an hour the back and knees were done . I started going back across the field when I got a strong +42 at 3 inches . I was so surprised to see my third class ring in the past month . I'm not sure what the metal is :icon_scratch: . It is marked SG inside . Anyone have a clue what it could be ? This one has initials so I'll do my best to find it's owner . Total clad for the 8 hours was $27.39 ! :headbang:

Re: 3rd Class Ring found in the past month !

Nice recoveries. Hope you can locate the owner. They should be doing back flips for that find.
And bullion chain certainly rounds out the finds.

Great ring, and the bracelet is in nice shape too!

I swear man, you are such a ring magnet, it seems like you don't even need a detector... just take off walking and they will start jumping out of the ground. :laughing9: :laughing9: :laughing9: I don't have a clue on the SG marking. Looked a little on the net and could only come up with this link where it mentions something a little over half way down the page.... but I really don't think it's related

I think I found out what the ring is made of . Siladium witch is a stainless steel alloy .

Re: 3rd Class Ring found in the past month !

I think its plated . because one of the ones I've found was but it said 10 karat. It was a 1974 high school class ring . When i dug it i thought it was sliver because it was all stained up but very white. The other was a university of pitt college ring and it had a nice golden hue to it, and no tarnish at all. . Nice finds as always .

I have my 74' class ring. It says 10K and is white gold. Very popular at the time

Awesome :icon_thumleft:
 

Re: 3rd Class Ring found in the past month !

Someone on another forum told me that a SG hall mark on a ring stands for Solid Gold ! I hope he is right . It is definitely not plated and looks like 10k . The pictures make it look more white .

Yeah well, with mine marked 10 karat i didnt think it was plated either untill it was tested with a file and some acid , maybe that jeweler was wrong. so i took it to a different gold buyer and sold it for $170 , he didnt test it. his fault.

I just test it with the acid for 10K and it passed :headbang: . All the class rings I have found over the past 14 years have been marked 10k so I never thought to test it when I got home .

looks to be a 10K white gold class ring, I found one last year and it looked exactly like a silver ring but was stamped 10K and passed the acid test too
good luck on finding the lost finger to it Glen..........
 

Man, that's the way to start the year off! Nice finds....
