Staying after school

[eyedee]

Hey, libraries are even better than schools, especially next to the bike racks. We found our first "real" ring today, it's hallmarked 825, whatever that means. It is inscribed, so being me I want to find "Peaches" and give her her ring back.

Congrats on your first real ring. You will be even more excited and proud when you are able to return it to Peaches.

Silver rings are always fun to find! The "825" stamping indicates the purity of the silver. "825" fine = 82.5% silver. Sterling is 925. US coin silver is 900, and I belive Canadian coin silver is 800 fine.
I wear a charm that has some very small hallmarks in Arabic that translate to "800"... I love the piece, but had to scold the folks that sold it to me as Sterling (which should have been 925).
If I were young again, I'd be looking for peaches, too! (But then, I wonder what kind of shape her mother is in...)

Hey congrats on that first ring! Nice finds you have there!

Thank you for the tip! I haven't thought about the Library, may have to see if I can get permission to hunt! I am the same way, I just don't feel right keeping something that has someone's name on it!!! Peaches could be a nickname so good luck on your search! Hope you find them! It is a great feeling when you get to return something that is special to someone! Good things will happen to you in return!

It's not that we're really nice people, I just know how upset I would be to lose my wedding band. Now, if we find a pick up truck, all bets are off!

I hear ya on the pickup truck! lol! I have one for ya! I will post in a few! I found two items yesterday! One was one I sure wish I could have kept! But one had a name on it! I found the owner today and just gave them back to him about an hour ago! That was sure one fish I hated to throw back! lol! But giving it back was a great feeling! The expression on their face was worth a million bucks!
I will post it as the fish that got away!

HH and hope you find more great finds!
