32 deg and snow could not keep me from attempting to score silver before this year is out so I hit the local soccer field.
I DID IT.
24 cents in clad, a D buckle, a 53D Jefferson, a bunch of pull tabs, and this beauty.
Silver moonstone celtic knot ring.
This made the pelting snow on my face well worth it.

Oh and moments after I took pictures, the ring magically appeared on the wife's finger. She loves it.

Very good digging day for me.
Thanks for looking.

Wow...those old, ornate and beautiful silver rings have been popping up the past couple days. I can see why your wife snatched it up, showed it to my wife and she said "where's mine?"...ugh. Just had to open up my big mouth lol..Congrats-great save, Ddf.

Way to tough it out in the frozen tundra. That ring must have warmed you up 10 degrees when it came into view. She's a real looker.:love10:

Very nice looking silver ring. I'd think hunting with snow in your face would be worth that dig. I know I was out yesterday, and it was 27 degrees. No snow yet.
