[QUOTE="Goldpick, post: 66887, member: 1695"] Well it turns out out that a crappy gunk encrusted rinb that I found a few hunts ago, is actually a 4.20 gram, 925 silver ring. I decided to use electrolysis to see if any of the black encrustations would come off, and it worked wonders, a thick black sulphurus smelling cloud quickly eminated from the ring, to reveal quite an ornate old ring, with 925 stamped on the underside. Certainly pays to have a good look at some of your finds before discounting them as junk jewellery!
