Well some of you might know I have been finding the silver rings as of late... I think I got some kind of silver ring spell on me or something!

I was going through my junk pile and I spotted this ugly ring... I dunno why I decided to look closer but I did and I am glad I did! This is a good lesson for all of us... Keep the junk and go trough it from time to time... you be glad you did!

A hole in one! Don't see many blank rings lost.

Most of mine are missing the stones... usually bent up...

Also I have never had much luck finding the stones.

I have two other silver rings that have stones I may put them on here to get them identified.
 

How could you miss the mark and that nice tarnish :dontknow:. In some places they believe that holed stones bring one luck. I hope a holed ring will bring you a lot of silver.
 

Your right...I keep a lot of stuff especially when I first started this hobby...sometime you get a later ID when you go through it.... Great save

There are several reason why things like that got missed...

That was a very dirty ring...
I have better equipment (Better Camera, Magnifying Glass, Microscope, Light)
I now know my eyes alone and not good enough...
I am more educated...

Well I hope the luck of the silver holed ring is with me, I found 3 silver rings with holes in them in the last few months.

Thanks for looking!

add a coin to that ring and wear it proudly ! :thumbsup:

That would be cool... except the hole and the ring is too small :-(
 

I have a junk bucket, and go through it before sending it off to recycle, for just that reason. Sometimes there is a dirt clod that gets attached to a larger junk piece, and it can hold something worthwhile.
 

Great find! I am gonna have to start keeping a closer eye on my junk as well. Theres no telling what I may have already missed. :icon_thumleft:

Yeah... just look at the before picture I really thought it was junk but that was 10 years ago or more. (yeah I keep most of my junk stuff)
