Thread: A Ring and a Buckle..

    A Ring and a Buckle..

    Tried out a new park today for awhile. Found the ring which is not stamped but came in a solid 20 VDI on my DFX. Might be Pewter.. Also an odd looking Buckle. Nice warm New England day..

    Nice digs. I don't know about a buckle, but it looks an awful lot like what we call a concho here. They're usually silver or silver plated horse saddle decorations.

    Nice ring, I don't think that other item is a buckle it looks more like a neck decoration, you would put the ribbon thru the item and tie it around your neck, female that is.
    Is it made of copper, brass or bronze? neat. thumbsup01

    Probably Brass, hit 20 VDI on my DFX. Thanks for the Id's I think it is some sort of necktie as well..

    Don't know if my vote counts or not, but I'm going with horse saddle decoration and white gold for the ring (pewter should read lower) I have not seen any pewter rings, especially that new looking. You running 15K , 3K or Best Data? Nice finds, I hope it's gold!!!!

    I was just going to say it might be white gold. Nice digs.

    I agree with OkieDigger. It looks like a concho to me also.

    Hey, then 20 is too high for pewter with factory settings. But that means it may be gold Older gold wasn't always marked. Maybe it's fools gold

    Nice finds!!! I;d agree with everyone and say it was a concho, but I got no clue what a concho is?
