My first silver ring ever!

[treasurekidd]

WOOO HOOO! I took a chance on the weather and got out today for about 2 hours. Hit a beach at a fresh water pond next to the local high school, and came up with my first silver ring ever! It's marked .925, T & Co, 1837, and inside it says 1997 Tiffany & Co, .925. WOW was I pumped! Found a clad dime, 2 memorial pennies, an eagle pin, and a weird looking brass thing that looks like a tiny torpedo. It was tied to fishing line, so someone was using it as a sinker. Any ideas what that may be? Anyway, I scored my first real ring, and now I know that that sorta stuff is actually out there. Gotta admit, I was beginning to doubt, lol!! HH all!

Nice finds!!!
I never seen a ring with all that writing on the outside of the band, interesting...
That eagle looks like it's silver also...
Good luck & Happy hunting~

Cool ring and eagle! WTG!! HH

I agree! I have never seen a ring with writing like that on the outside of the band. I wonder if it could have been some type of salesman sample, advertising promotion or a ring to try on to get the correct size?

VERY NICE FIND THOUGH! I am still waiting to find my first ring :-(

Thanks guys! The eagle pin has no markings on it, and it's heavy, but I don't think it's silver. I checked out the ring on eBay. If you search under Tiffany & Co 1837 ring, several of them come up. Seems the 1837 is a series. I agree about all of the engraving, but the ones on eBay were all identical, and several have sold recently for anywhere between $30 and $70. Maybe because of the prestigous Tiffany name I'm not gonna question it, though. It's gorgeous to me!!! Thanks again everyone!!

Did a little more research on the ring at www.tiffanys.com. They have a whole collection of sterling ang gold jewelry called "1837". The 1837 represents the year Tiffany & Co. was founded. They have the exact same ring on their site, says it retails for $125.00. I know I'd never sell it for that, but not a bad score on my first ring! I'm not selling it anyway, lol!

Congrats man. Great looking silver ring made by the best. It's out there and I know how you felt about starting to get impatient wondering if it is really out there. Truth is there's alot out there still to be found.

The first of anything is brutal to find. Once you get one alot more seem to follow alot easier. Anyhow glad to see others making finds.

Continued success take care Jer
