    old silver ring

    Went out water detecting again today , and found my third silver in a row. This time out I got an old silver ring, ( I looked for the stone, but no luck). Looks like its been in the water for some time. Now to clean it. Baking soda method?

    after cleaning

    Here`s how it looks now. Still not as shiny as I`d hope to get.
