Sauron Mirkwood Ring confusion
I’ve searched around and googled and best I can come up with to my question, why didn’t Sauron sense the ring in Mirkwood, is “Bilbo didn’t use it often. But Bilbo wears it nearly 100% of the time in the King’s halls for a few months. Maybe he was distracted by the Council’s attack on his base in the forest? But I feel like he should’ve noticed something it’s just up the road basically.
And I know he gains strength over time but we’re talking a 60year difference in a span of thousands it can’t be that much difference in power, can it? |

What Hu said.
Also, when Tolkien wrote The Hobbit it was just a magic invisibility ring with no connection to the unnamed Necromancer at all. |

To me, the intent of the Bearer is important. Although someone using the Ring's secondary power of invisibility is revealed to those who can see the "unseen", the use of its primary power of command and domination is what really grabs Sauron's attention. And, of course, going so far as to openly claim it on Sauron's doorstep wouldn't go unnoticed. |
Inziladun has the right interpretation, in my view. There is a marked difference between merely carrying the Ring, merely wearing the Ring, and claiming the Ring for one's own.
