After yesterday's great barber half find I was going to take a break today but the detecting bug woke me up early and said lets go, and sooooo glad I did. I have found many rings over the years but not any that I can really brag about, till today! Was going to head to my barber lot when on my way there I took a different route about 5 minutes away from it. Passing thru a neighborhood that dates back to the early 1900's when I seen one of the homes had recently been tore down and a empty lot was screaming at me to stop. After a very slow start and a few wheats and a mercury dime later I was thinking, not as good as I thought it was going to be, than bam! A strong 81-82 on my At pro, dug down about 4" when I seen it, still not sure what I had till I picked it up and realized I found my best ring ever. Looks from the style to be from the 1920's, Amethyst and diamonds and is 10k marked. Taking to Jewelers this week for cleaning and appraisal. I am one happy guy.

Hey Ray, congrats on the ring and even bigger congrats for being a stand up guy and telling everyone the news you got from the jeweler. It had to be hard after all the build up and props you were getting before the ring was tested. You didn't let anyone down, that's a beautiful gold ring. If there is no fence and no signs, I hunt it...congrats again.

Thanks lookindown, appreciate the comment. For me the real thrill was digging it up, nothing could of took that feeling away. Even if it wasn't the retirement ring. Lol. HH

What a great series of events and an amazing find! If only the ring could tell you it's story. I appreciate the before and after photos, which really drives home the ring's beauty. And now you have your own story to tell.
