NCtoad Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 So Friday I got the gopro and today I hit a section about a half mile downstream. I got a honker ring but can’t tell what it’s made of. Not silver (rings up a solid 60 on the D2). I tested it for platinum and the solution dissolves the rub mark after about 10 seconds. I just checked and it’s very slightly attracted to a magnet. I had to hang it from a string to see this. Is it stainless? Here’s the rest of the haul. A full mini bottle of Jagermeister! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between the C’s is an insignia that looks like the Boy Scout symbol without the eagle. The letters aren’t stamped, they’re etched or engraved.

King-Of-Bling Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 My experience on similar rings like that is SS. Possibly with a heavy plating. Magnet will get a slight attraction to it. Gold , platinum and Palladium will not do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tungsten Carbide is also slightly magnetic but it's very resistant to scratching. It's a custom ring, still really nice. Here ya go, found it: https://www.ccforlife.com/LifeMates_with_Channels_8_5MM_Band_p/3ccmate85wr.htm They call it "Jewelers Stainless", not an especially cheap ring. 🙂 I think I'd get a new bottle of Jagermeister to celebrate 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skull diver Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 I must admit my amazement to see that there is this trend of personalizing with engravings less noble materials than 'gold and with increasing frequency. No wonder it is dated 2012, since the "great crisis" in my mind is stuck in 2008 (and continues)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry in Idaho Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 That's quite a large haul of treasures/trash which indicates it does not get detected very often. Love the interesting ring and it seems you now have it ID'd. A full bottle of jagermeister, now that's a treat. Interesting pic of the river. Have you been able to recover any Civil War era items? NC had it's share of activity in certain areas. Looks to be higher elevation with the clear water quality. Well done and thanks for helping clean the environment at the same time.
