Cleaning an extremely tarnished silver ring found metal detecting

Found an extremely tarnished / corroded silver ring in the ocean. I clean it in a few ways to get back down to the metal and confirm if it's silver

[@alexanderalvarez7237]

Bro was wearing that since the start of the stone age

[@KingMathers]

For real 😂

[@camillecrichlow8138]

925 is the marking to mean it’s silver, not a year

[@that_one_reply8805]

It’s another of these fake videos

[@SaltySteff]

​@@camillecrichlow8138i think he's referring to the crusty cro magnon ring

[@ShanteRoxxane]

@@camillecrichlow8138 Yes. The joke was about the condition it was in. Also, it was Tiffany and Co. who started stamping 925 on silver, which became the standard.

Awesome cleaning video! You make it look easy! I just spent all of Saturday night cleaning 5-6 items we’ve been collecting and finding !

[@MtnAng]

WOW! That’s amazing!! Great find. Love love love the video!!

[@MargaLilaandPets]

I also used Colgate toothpaste. You will be surprised how fast it works.

[@D33_money15]

Do it really work with toothpaste what's the directions.

[@maryleung1425]

What do you think tooth paste is made of ...sodium bicarbonate .. .which is baking soda ...which is rudimentarily used as a quick fix in silver polishing if u dont have those silver polishing cloths st home...

[@rajgill7576]

White was probably calcium stuff from the ocean, incredible how much the levels need to be. I started keeping a reef tank few months back

[@thousandvangs3715]

The ring will teleport you to Elden Ring world 😂

[@hagakuru]

From my experience, that ring would be circa 1995.

[@imhere8380]

omg...........my ring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@williammcduff6531]

Good score.... being that tarnished it must have been lost quite some time ago.

[@homesteadaquarius]

Wow! That worked great!

[@brianyim5006]

Can you do this to 24k gold plated sterling silver that oxidized without removing the gold plated layer?

[@KenLord]

Hard to say, I wasn't concerned with damaging this ring. It might be risky. If the ring is important to you, take it to a jeweller for cleaning.

[@reo-julie8865]

Works brilliant for gold too,I always clean my gold this way!!

[@KenLord]

That's interesting, because this method actually causes a chemical reaction that removes the sulphur from the silver sulphide tarnish. Gold isn't reactive and doesn't tarnish.

[@reo-julie8865]

I now use a ultrasound cleaner for my gold,my brother has a silver bracelet thts tarnished i tried to clean it but didnt really work,do you have any suggestions on how to clean the silver bracelet?.@KenLord

[@KenLord]

@@reo-julie8865 ultrasound gets the dirt off ... but silver tarnish is from a chemical reaction, silver sulphide bonded to the surface. You can either polish it off, which takes away some silver, or you can try to reverse the chemical reaction. That's what is happening in the glass with boiling water, aluminum foil, baking soda, and vinegar. If its important or valuable jewelry, get a jeweller to clean it. Or use a silver polish. If its junky jewelry that doesnt matter, try the chemical reaction.

Might of said Mexico .925, Taxco silver is a common stamp on Vintage Mexican Silver

[@mcsatan26]

im using for silvers/golds cigarette ash and napkin :D

[@D33_money15]

Seriously?I heard of that

[@Astral_Drago]

So this is what Fromsoft meant by “tarnished” and “Elden Ring”.

[@LambertCinema]

Awesome 😎 🎉

[@SolarkiddSSJ4]

Look like Jesus first ring he wore

[@Heyitdave]

Still got no maidens

[@retrodqfan]

hi what liquid used in ultrasonic? thanks

[@lil_wildboar]

When using baking soda and hot water you also need to like the bowl with aluminum foil right?

[@KenLord]

That's right, boiling water, aluminum foil, baking soda, vinegar, and a bit of salt. I'd suggest googling instructions for this, for the amounts etc.

[@elizabethboyd3358]

Spinners where not around 40 years ago. Mid to late 90's is more like it.

[@derpycatdraws]

Cooool❤

[@user-xq8lu4ic9y]

Just me who thinks this music reminds me of an roblox obby😭

[@MargaLilaandPets]

It might not have been that old. Being in the ocean may tarnish it very well. Probably could get that way within 5-10 years just as much.

[@KenLord]

Yup, that's true, although this probably had the thickest tarnish I've seen in 9 years of hunting.

[@wmrustycox]

I've seen that if you use boiling hot water in this mix it will speed up the process

[@KenLord]

Yes, thanks for the tip, I usually pop the water in the microwave, but it doesn't stay hot very long. Maybe some time in an oven would do it.

[@Mudbug2000]

Salt? Only used foil-hot water-baking soda. Usually works!

[@KenLord]

interesting, I've done it on other pieces, accidentally forgetting the salt and it's failed.

[@FatherSonHolySpiritAmen.]

Black Riders show up..

[@kingc0usee_23]

fought the conquestadors w dat shit

[@AmanKumar-vq1vq]

Why the aluminium foil, baking soda and salt? Someone pls explain the chemistry behind it.

[@KenLord]

You'll have to Google it. But it has to do with converting the silver sulphide tarnish back into silver metal. The Aluminum picks up the Sulphur. The baking soda, vinegar, and salt facilitate the transfer.

[@chastityspillars4151]

I need this cleaner. I mistakenly put my silver jewelry to hang in my bathroom. I didn’t’ know lol

[@shivshakti-infinitelove]

Brushing with toothpaste will work on slightly darkened jwellery

[@wakenow1]

You can get a 6 dollar bottle of tarn-x and it will look brand new. The stuff is very strong so dont soak for more than a minute or two.

[@dopplerapples7307]

Is it true Boiling water in a bowl with aluminum foil inside and baking soda actually removes tarnish on silver

[@KenLord]

Yes, but dont forget the salt too. it reverses the chemical reaction where Sulphur reacts with the silver making the tarnish. Pulls the sulphur back out. But don't expect the surface to got back to its original quality.

[@ColeMemes]

would you stick your hands in that water for 1mil yes or no

[@King_midas010]

How you found it if silver is not magnetic

[@KenLord]

Metal detectors don't work based on the metal being magnetic. The detector creates an electromagnetic field that induces eddy currents in the metal target, which create their own electromagnetic fields which are picked up by the detector. Gold and copper aren't magnetic either, but are also easily detected.

[@AngelAngel-nj6ef]

What is it being cleaned in?

[@camillecrichlow8138]

Baking soda and water I think

[@raimoonsaif3055]

*1925

[@MooSaidChicken]

No, 925. As in .925% silver, or sterling.

[@Anna-Jihi]

What is Wattage of the cleaner? thanks

[@KenLord]

It's 60w sound, 200w heater, 120v, 2L. Was a cheap one bought on amazon

[@Anna-Jihi]

​@@KenLord Thanks a lot!

[@joshuadavies108]

Did you get this out of your father's ashes?!

[@KenLord]

Knowing people who have worked at crematoriums, I can tell you that they remove jewelry - through whatever means necessary, before cremation.

[@donnae2013]

No music playing would make it more bearable

Could I suggest the amazing new invention you may not of heard of? ... the volume control.

Bro, next time, put it in a little plastic bag with some cleaning fluid. Keeps your tank clean 👍🏼

[@jayjenkins644]

Nice of you to coat it in mud first. Cut me break. Is everybody that dumb?

[@KenLord]

Wow, so you've never heard of the hobby of metal detecting? What do you expect old silver jewelry to look like after digging it from the sea at low tide? Freaking idiot.

Just use pitambari and then re-do the video
