Title: my first ring!!..and more finds!! Post by: Jassy on May 13, 2011, 03:14:18 PM back out into the old faithful field again,at first i thought the ring was a just an olive thingy for plumbing,but there is some kind of hallmark on it,bit confused as its in bad condition ...any ideas????
faye found a nice badge, looking into age on it ,but it reads pavillion franco britannique. also the usual couple of coins, the oldest one being 1700's. not a bad afternoon. Title: Re: my first ring!!..and more finds!! Post by: Jassy on May 13, 2011, 03:21:30 PM oops its says pavillon,not pavillion... just had a look and this badge is from a university in paris??????

Could the ring be silver ?? didn't think gold got encrusted. Can't see the hall marks so wouldn't say for sure. Val Title: Re: my first ring!!..and more finds!! Post by: Jassy on May 13, 2011, 03:44:14 PM ohh i wish Nap. thank u mungo.
dont know about the ring val,unless its a forgery ??????? im trying to work out the mark, i think the last one is a "W",first one is a either a "c" or a "g" Title: Re: my first ring!!..and more finds!! Post by: Jassy on May 13, 2011, 04:15:40 PM ohhh a W in that type of box hallmark is 1794!! correct me if im wrong!
Title: Re: my first ring!!..and more finds!! Post by: The Doc on May 13, 2011, 05:59:55 PM Interesting finds Jassy. I think the ring is brass and was probably originally gold or silver-plated, with a fake hallmark to fool the unsuspecting. I believe in Victorian times these were also supplied by pawnbrokers to repace the real thing pawned by the wearer.
The badge is a bit different. Anything on the back, a maker's name or anything like that? Could relate to a French university or maybe to one of the Franco-British expositions that were held before the First World War. Title: Re: my first ring!!..and more finds!!

Title: Re: my first ring!!..and more finds!! Post by: Jassy on May 13, 2011, 08:22:12 PM hoping to find some goodies tomorrow, tides are very early and late tho arent they???
Title: Re: my first ring!!..and more finds!! Post by: tyna on May 13, 2011, 08:32:57 PM Think low tide is about 10am so best to be down there around 8 and follow the tide out.
Can't get there though until around midday :'( Hope it's productive a bit higher up the beach - fingers crossed :) Title: Re: my first ring!!..and more finds!! Post by: Jassy on May 13, 2011, 08:56:03 PM yes crossed big time!!!!
