Today's little outing netted silver, gold and a pearl?

[Butch in Colorado]

Pam and I hit another local school yard that always gives us something nice to talk about.

A nice little handful of change for the both of us, as always. Pam found the switchblade you see in the photo. We brought it home and disposed of it.
I found the silver ring in the lower left. The hello kitty bracelet had an interesting item attached to it. I did not realize what is was until we got back to the house and Pam untangled it from the hello kitty bracelet. It is marked 14K and the pearl appears to be real. A nice unexpected find. The earring is also silver and Pam found that!

A couple of barrettes and poor Apollo can't phone home anymore.

I attempted to restore the ring to its round state. Those photos before and after are in another post in this thread. Enjoy....

Here are a couple of photos of the smurshed ring I found today.

After some cajoling, primping and prodding with a ring mandrel and a small ball peen hammer here are the final results.
It came out quite nicely if I do say so myself!

Pam thinks the stone in the silver ring is garnet. I have no idea, but it does look cool!
