Back at it - Old US Navy Silver Ring

[Echoplex]

Man, I have been having crazy detecting withdrawals for the past week and a half. My wife has been away on business and I have been playing the role of Mr. Mom with zero time to detect. Last night I broke down and took the kids to a site I have started to meticulously grid. I have pulled 14 silver coins here cherry picking and have just started to dig all non-ferrous. After hitting a 1919 wheat, and the usual tabs/caps, I got a strong silver quarter signal on the Nox, 31/32. I gathered the boys and told them that I probably had silver, flipped the plug and bam, this gorgeous sterling ring was sitting perfectly oriented in the plug. We all let out a "WHOOOOAAAAAAA!" That's the best shared feeling, isn't it? It's an old WW2 era US Navy ring. I love finding silver coins, but I'll take some silver culture over a coin any day. Even better, the wife's back home so it is time to go pound some ground. HH!

That ring is beautiful, and such a sentimental piece to the previous owner. They really knew how to make things back in those days, didn't they? Congrats on becoming the new owner of such a cool treasure!!
