everything seem okay but the basement isn't done yet...
so my mom got her friends to come over and fix the basement
when they was tearing the walls down in the bathroom on top of the ceiling about 100 or more razors blades came falling outta of nowhere and we found a ring and a 1970's newpaper.
Does anyone know what is up with that?

Bathroom cabinets used to include a slit in the back, for that express purpose. (This was a safety measure, so people would not toss their old, flat, double-sided razor blades into the trash can. Imagine trying to dig out a receipt or misplaced note in the trash and being surprised by a razor blade.)
The ring was probably misplaced by someone. Is it valuable? Even if it does not contain a genuine gemstone, it may be worth something as an antique. you may wish to have it appraised.
The 1970s newspaper, if it is in good condition, might be valuable to a collector.
According to the newspaper, the house must be at least 30+ years old . . . .

In old medicine cabinets there was a slot for razor blades, which were called double edge. Apparently there was this kind of medicine cabinet at one time and you opened the spot where the blades had been deposited and fallen down into the wall.
The ring and the newspaper just got in there somehow, during some sort of renovation or someone dropped it into the wall.
Sorry, not all the interesting or uncommon in 50yr old houses.

In the back of older bathroom mirrors there used to be a slit where people were supposed to put their used razor blades in. They just used fall behind the sheetrock. You just found a spot where they fell thats all.
