    Two Silver Rings - One is Massive

    I got out for some local door knocking yesterday in the 87 degree heat. I knew it would be a challenge to find someone at home on a weekday but I eventually got a friendly yes at a 1920s house.

    I ended up getting four pieces of silver from this yard, one Merc, one Rosie, and two silver rings including a beefy silver ring with turquoise. It is bent but I'm going to take it to a local jeweller to see if they can straighten it.

    I got a yes at a second house and only found a lone 1941 Merc in the sidewalk strip.
