Maybe silver ring?

First silver ring found

Hey guys, today i was at the beach 400 m from me, and i were walking on the muddy area beside the beach, then i saw a circular object like a ring or something, and pang, it was an dark weird ring! My first non-metal detecting ring I've cleaned the ring with baking soda+salt and boiling hot water, and these are the results. The ring also got an number inside the ring, "825." , and a mark on the other side . The ruler on the picture is in centimeters + i found the exact same hallmark on the internett, it's made by Kristian M. Hestensen in Bergen,Norway.

Yup, should be a lower quality silver. But hey, free silver is free silver. Nice eyeball find!

Nice find - 800, 825, 835 - etc. are not uncommon in Scandinavian , Russian, and some other European countries -though not
sterling , it is none the less - a very nice find ,and predominantly silver !

Hey haraldmartin , can you post a pic of the hallmark inside the ring ? Thanks !

Great find, I have been using the magnifying glass on my camera and they usually come out pretty good. My focus is horrible on my phon e , so it helps.
May take a few tries tho.

Okay, thx, gonna try that, if i had a magnifying glass though

 

[haraldmartin]

Wops, it wasn't 825, it was "925"
