My first Ring and other cool stuff.

[Jacobsdt]

Ok, its been about three years now and I finally found my first ring. And I believe it is civil war time period. I have been hitting a section of woods that have turned up over 50 3 ringer bullets and a number of buttons now. I was told by the land owner that I have found an area that previous relic hunters had hit years ago and told him that it was a civil war staging area for troop movements to the battle of Fredericksburg. Most of my targets have been at least 8 inches deep, I thank my XP Deus for picking them up, because they have been very faint signals. But my most recent find this morning was a ring. I haven't found a whole lot of jewelry, but I finally found a ring and I think it is period to the area I have been detecting.

There are no markings on the inside of the band indicating what it is made of. I believe it is gold, it came out of the ground shinning just as it is.

Two buttons, one is an Officer Staff Button and the other a regular Eagle. All the buttons have been rough, I think maybe it was farm land at one time. Maybe the fertilizer took its toll.

Not sure about this one.

Cool button, found in a different area.

There was what looked like an old road that fed this camp, I followed it for a bit and found this Indian Head. Obviously from much later, but I'll take it.

Odd bullet, maybe carved....

So, all in all, it was a good time. I will continue to hit it as long as the hunters aren't in there. A lot of tree stands set up. Thanks for looking and HH!

Nice job David! That ring is a sweet find. I'd also think that bullet is carved.
Great hunt indeed! Congratulations!

Sweet hunt,, the XP DEUS will go even deeper. On a solid signal at a nice depth of 7 or 8 inches, or deeper,

I think your ring is an Excellent Find ! I also think it is high karat (at least 18K or 20K I'm guessing)
