My first ring

[CASEPOWER]

I recieved permission from the local town commisioner (along time friend of mine) to hunt the local baseball field. I found my first ring this evening there. Found a small amount of clad also. Now here is a dumb question? Is it a pot leaf? I was thinking that a pot leaf was 5 instead of 7 leaves. I still would not wear it either way. Second question, how do you tell if it is silver?

nice find... congratulations

If it is sterling you Will likely find a marking on it that says "ster" or "925" which are common indicators for sterling silver.

Some of the markings are explained at the following link.

Should have known. Well it's big and heavy. Maybe I can tell everyone it's a oak leaf LOL. Just my luck to find a ring like that. Beggers can't be choosers. I'm not going to go back out and put it in the hole it was in!
