Found this silver ring about 5 inches down in Atwater Veterans Park. My second silver find at this park. The ring is unfortunately smashed but I was so thrilled to find it let out a loud yessssss! upon finding it forgetting I was in public lol. Anyone know if it can be fixed I never assume it is a lost cause it looks bad but I'd be happy if it could at least be slightly fixed. mir_20200905_163750.jpgmir_20200905_163737.jpgmir_20200905_163724.jpgmir_20200905_163640.jpg

Sweet find looks like a bracelet to me but love finding silver. Glad you had a good day
 

nice find...you might want to invest in a mandrel to straighten the shank out. It has "saved" a couple of rings that were smushed.

Yeah it doesn't look like a complete lost cause. When I found it it was dirt caked and I thought it was just twisted up wire and almost tossed it in my trash bag but the brightness of the metal caught my attention last second.

I think I spent most my time cleaning the park lol. Found so much trash but didn't mind it's a veterans park so at least cleaning a lot of trash from the park made me happy.
 

I think a jeweler could probably straighten it out. Not sure what it might run you though....

Yeah if it is too pricey I won't bother with it. I'll mess with it myself if I have to. I'll most likely ruin it further but oh well no loss just silver I'll throw in my safe with the rest
 

Just put it on a chain, and wear it when you detect. Your first coin taped to your machine brings silver, your first silver brings gold! - Congratulations!:occasion14:
 

That is certainly an interesting ring. Hope you can fix it a bit. Love finding silver. Congrats.

Way to go on the silver. Be lucky to find anything there, besides trash.
