Fake Bling,Pirate Ring:) WWII Bullets and more

Hi all

Have been a bit lazy with my posts.
Coins were as per usual...Pennies,maybe six Silvers,Spendable Goldies and a KAZILLION 1c and 2c pieces
Here are some of the more interesting finds since my last post.

Junk Rings and fake bling :(


Found some more .50Cal BMG Bullets and what would have been a huge key


A very nice and quite heavy Triton Tungsten TC850 Ring


A collection of Sterling Silver Rings


The stone on the left appears to be  a Sapphire
The Skull ring seems quite old....it took heaps of cleaning techniques to get it Silver again....must have been in the sand&surf for a loooong time


The mens ring has a GreenStone in it
Must have been a pretty big fella that lost this 'cause it is huge


Happy Hunting all :)

Found a way to clean those dull current coins

Finally found a way to clean the NZ goldies,silver and even those dark brown 10c pieces
come out shiny...works on Aussie coins and Pounds too
Brings out the shine(even the ones off the beaches)....so banktellers won't refuse you :):):)

If you can't afford a tumbler I suppose you have to improvise ;)

Here is a pic of coins that were just scrubbed with soap and warm water and two that were
cleaned the other way

(As always this is just recommended for current currency...not older coins)
