I Thought I Had A Silver For Sure, But Nope!

I don't know what MM699 means (and so far no one else does either) but it sure has the look of a quality ring to me.  Excellent finds!

You're doing things right, IMO.  You want gold rings?  Dig every pulltab in the park.  Small gold jewerly?  Dig all the foil, too.  Nothing wrong with digging trash.  Missing valuables through overconfidence in ones discriminating ability?  That's where the shame comes in.

Thanks! I usually toss all the foil I find in the trash with the paper and surface trash but I do dig alot of it. I can usually tell by the double or mutiple beeps that it is crumpled or folded foil, but I'll dig it anyway, just in case. 😎

My wild guess the MM 699 is the purity mark.

You might be able to find the maker. The style of mark is struck so it is old or older. Modern day marks are often laser engraved and super crisp in detail.

White gold is tricky, found one this summer and first thought it was silver then thought it was platinum because of the weight and the id range it rang up but an acid test proved to be 10k.

 

Thank you for that info, I hadn't thought of that. I need to test it and see if I can find anything on the"MM" mark.

Nice scores! That first ring looks crudely make, like a casting made at home. I'm thinking you found someone's try at making their own ring, and doing a decent job of it. There are little pits on it that makes me think that. If it is home made, then it most likely would use gold, and the markings may be the maker's initials. The 699 may in fact be the purity, if they had access to an XRF. Just speculation on my part. I'd bring that one to a jeweler to see what they think.
