*UPDATE*Found a ring today not sure how old??

[Ed-NH]

**UPDATE** I took it to a local jewelery shop and she took a quick look under a glass and said it is just costume jewelery. Oh well it still looks really neat and I like it.

Went to the ocean today. It was 4 degrees when we headed out but it warmed up to 18 and the sun was out. I found this ring and I have no idea if this is new junk or perhaps Victorian?? The ring itself is pretty think and heavy. It sounded very similar to pull tab and on my Explorer ll the cross hairs were a little below center and a little left of center. I was thinking cheap grade gold would do that or even very old silver that was mixed with other materials would do that. I could not find any markings in it but maybe because of corrosion? Any thoughts? Thanks for looking 8)

Once we got moving it was not all that bad as the sun was out so that helped

Hello

The rings design looks old, and Looks like it could be silver, white gold or platinum. The marking act was not until 1906 so I think it could be older than that. I'd take it to a jeweler see if they can tell you about it and test it for gold or silver.

Great find !!

Keep @ it and HH !!

Those vice-grips look as old as the ring.

I updated the post finally!! Looks like it may just be a modern costume jewelery type of ring.

Looks more like an alligator clip that has been used for electrolysis to me.

I agree, get it tested to be sure. Even though it looks a little beat up, it still came out of the beach in pretty good condition - better than one might expect.
