    One of my best finds in the woods!

    I hit the woods for an hour or two yesterday. . . I just had
    to take advantage of these great winter temps.

    The first hour yielded 4 or 5 tent grommets and then nothing
    until the last 20-minutes of my hunt. My first good hit was a
    toasted 1918 Wheat and then a 1920 Buff. A few minutes
    later I got a bouncy nickel-pulltab signal at 5 inches and in
    the side of the hole was the glimmer of a gold ring. After
    cleaning the ring and doing some research, I was able to
    determine this is a "32nd Degree Scottish Rite of free Masonry"
    ring. . . solid 14K yellow & white gold.

    I think I'll hit that area again. . . soon. Thanks for looking!

    I agree, that is a beautiful looking find. Plus, the rings ability to levitate is even more remarkable.

    Outstanding ring!
    If anyone is interested, here's a somewhat lengthy but interesting history of
