I started the day in the woods along a few old trails. Didn't really have a plan as both other spots I wanted to go to were either overgrown or crowded with people but through my aimless wandering I did manage to luck out with a nice 8ct gold ring. Other than that I found a few euros in spendable, a 1963 aluminum 25 centimes and a US penny. Any info on what the stone might be would be appreciated as well.

Thanks for looking and good luck!

Congrats on the ring find, I’m certainly not a stone expert but looks dark enough to have a real possibility of being a sapphire to me!
