[golddiggerart]

Belt ring....nice....I like seeing unusual Jewelry.... And I agree good to see you swinging the detector mate.

 

[Wally69]

Just worked it out - it is a chastity ring

Fits on the middle finger for those that are too nice to say uc&you with a hand gesture

 

[silver]

Thank ya'all, here's the koala up a bit closer.

and through the loupe

recon thats an A in AUSTRALIA there
sideways Miss Jane !

and the ring doesn't say 925 at all it just says TM followed by three hallmarks, a Lion and a couple of others.
here's a shot through the loupe.

the other two are
an a with a forward facing tail
and a sideways anchor
well that's what they look like to me.

Gave the ring a bit of a rub up, just with my fingers (dry). :lol: .

Is there a hallmark SIlver?

Just looks in the pics it may be 'plated'?....hard to tell what the tarnished brown color is (possibly over copper?).

Good finds first time back at it, hope the legs don't give you too much curry for the effort mate.

Cheers

Well done mate, bit of pain for a bit of silver, good pain. Nice find.

Seriously though, I've got a bit of a crook back, the less I use it the more it hurts.

1900s Birmingham

 

[silver]

Thanks gda, does that mean its 1800 and something, cause I have found some old coins there in the past, was just going back over looking for a Sov or two, but there is canslaw and pull tabs over all the deeper stuff.

Nice finds Silver,awesome to hear you got out for a swing.Regarding the ring,the lion and anchor means it is from Birmingham.The "a" might mean it was made in 1900.Do you think the "a" could be an "e" if so it would be made in 1977.

 

[silver]

Just looked, anchor is Birmingham also
and Lion is England.
Good stuff, everyone, ring was about 4 metres away from the DEUTSCHES REICH 1875 coin the other day post # 2095 this thread.

Hi Silver,
No fun being kept indoors due to health issues, good to see you were able to get out for a swing and be rewarded with your name sake.

No pain no gain hey Heatho !

Hey thats my quote Silver.lol..Mate not sure what your leg problem is but ... i only have 1 ligament left in my left knee ...i snapped the other 3 in a bike accident and never went to the hospital until 23yrs later ...lol the Dr said the ligaments had decinergrated over time...now needing a prosthetic knee job....But trying to wait till im at least in my 50s...pain killers most days just so i can walk....so i feel your pain mate.....glad us gammys can still get out for a swing

 

[B5MECH]

That ring may be worth the effort to repair it 8) seems like a Birmingham silver belt ring was a fashion statement of the 1800's

I'm as glad as you then Smokey !

 

[silver]

Yeah, I've never seen a belt ring before, ever.
Definitely T.M under close scrutiny with the loupe B5 ,.... I think my photo being on an angle with the loupe and camera doesn't do it justice properly. 8)
