They are absolutely amazing finds.

 

Awesome finds, I like the Garnet, but that's my birthstone as well!

 

I have a weird collection of no value things found (only in last two years)


but some things I found was silver or gold made. I found some gems as a 40 carats blue topazio (25 years ago)


and little diamonds (very little stones)

 

found $120 melt value 14k pendent at my watering hole a few months back in the parking lot with a trail of blood....urban detecting. I go Mondays at noon for wings, so sunday night was prob roudy...

 

Either of those stones would be grand.

 

@Shrews1994 I think the peridot looks better in that ring. Since that's your birth stone and you found the setting I think that is a perfect match. Nice looking garnet. May I ask where you got those stones?

 

if it is 42.9% silver...what would be the other metal in it, most likely?

 

That lion ring looks like a ring my dad used to wear which he gave to me. Mine has a diamond in the mouth and rubies in the eyes. It is very heavy.

 

Definitely the green one.

 

No way to know unless you had it tested. Some of the alloys that are commonly used for silver jewelry can be:

copper (the most common alloy)
zinc
cadmium
tin

 

I'll post a pic of the one I've got that sounds exactly like yours, if you post a pic of yours

 

Here's the one I inherited. This one has the diamonds in the eyes with the ruby in the mouth. Maybe ours are related.

 

Cool finds I like what your doing and if I can give you a bit of advice on where to search since I have no idea where you live at or search at. When going out metal detecting try and look up the local history of the town and property your detecting at it can give you a good reference on what you could possibly find

 

A elderly lady named Ms jeanny that I use to clean for were I use to live gave them to me. She gave some to my mom too. She use to make jewelry.

 

The land goes back in the 1800s but it was farm land owned from a man called Alfred Ashley.

 

Judging by your photos they are very nice looking stones, they look gem grade. Go with the green.

 

That's beautiful. I'll post mine in a bit. Just getting coffee.

 

I tried a borrowed metal detector in my back yard. My big hit wound up being a garbage can lid.

 

I have more than these two this peridot is Chinese and it's .75 CT. The others i don't know. I'm trying to look the rest up I don't know what they are. I know the diamond and the others I mentioned.
