Value of 9ct white gold ring

BrokenArrows

Not sure where to post this so ill pop it in here.

I was traveling Australia and found a ring on a beach one day.
It has 9ct stamped on the inside and looks like white gold.
Its in pretty bad condition, scratched and dented.
It looks like a mens ring about 4mm width.

Is there any value to this. Is it worth selling. Where would i sell it?

The answer to question two depends on the answer to question one.

Very little. Perhaps a tenner...

Be worth more as a memory. Aww.

Slightly off topic: I'm always shocked when I see the family heirlooms people do sell on those antique roadshow tv programs. Selling something that has been handed down for a few generations for a few measly quid is pitiful, assuming they are not financially challenged.

bargain hunt is better than antiques roadshow IMO. yeh you often see it, but if i inheririted something from generations above that i never knew and it was worth alot id probably sell it too

Melt it down, form it into a bullet, and use it to shoot werewolves.

Ehhh it would be useful if it were made of silver. The werewolves will just laugh at his lack of knowledge and then kill him.

In fairness he didn't say it's to kill the werewolves...

Maybe he wants to shoot the werewolves with the white bullet, wait a second for the werewolf to get a surprised look on his face when he realises he's still alive, and then say "ha ha" and shoot him with a silver bullet...

Yeah that's true, but they're so quick I doubt he'd get a second shot. You know what they're like.

I do indeed.

I often wonder are they killers or are they just hungry?

Like if I carried around a couple of fillet steaks with me and throw them on the ground when the werewolf is running towards me, will he stop and eat the fillet steaks or will he ignore them and kill me?

As far as I know they do it just for sport. In fairness now that steak comment you made is doing them a dis-service, they aren't that 'basic' shall we say, g'ss they're not like dogs, they're actually fairly decent sorts, just a little misunderstood I think.

Confusion, misrepresentation, misunderstandings etc are terrible things.

Depends on how the steaks are done.. and what sides you offer

Hmm, I see your point, white gold wouldn't kill a werewolf.
This reminds me of the time I tried to kill that umpire with some garlic.

No attempt at all at finding the owner... no? Perhaps turning it in to a local police station... no?

Oh well.

Cybermen don't like gold.. if you shot them with gold bullet it would kill them.

Eh, I don't watch it. I just have seen it a few times for a few moments.

Shame on you to watch it, shame on you.

Ohh you stander upper of morals and such, fair play to ya.

lol. turned into quite a funny thread.

asking how much a ring is worth turning into a werewolf discussion.

Its just a plain slightly engraved ring but would really be looking at melt down value because its really in **** condition. was probably around that beach for a long time.

now how would one go about making a white gold bullet. You never know when your going to run out of silver bullets and have to bluff your way out of a sticky situation.

Actual jewelers that make rings will buy old ones to melt down but I can't imagine you'd get more than about 20 quid for it.

Eh......didnt Brian McFadden lose his wedding band on the beach in Australia while the wife Kerry Katona was in that Im A Celebrity thing??

Give him a call, Im sure its worth alot to him? He would pay a big reward to have it back. Oh wait.....maybe not.

dublindude seems to know a bit about turning metals into bullets, he'll be a good starting point. If he doesn't tell you what you want, come see me.
