    I have come across mercury affected rings many times (it's usually a
    fair bet the owners are nurses) and every time it has been easily
    and quickly cleaned off with emery paper and then polished. I think
    the concerns you have regarding the health risks cleaning it this way
    are unfounded, but then it is your decision. 

    Oh, and being in my early 30's, I'd prefer not to think of myself as
    an "old timer". 

Cheers,
Dale
