Today I dug a first! I've dug hundreds of silver rings but never a snuff ring! The one I got today opens from the top, it has a little secret compartment for hiding "something"! Cheech & Chong were that comedy team from the 1970's & 80's always making jokes about the "wacky tobacie":tongue3:. The ring I found today would have
been right up their ally. Also dug a merc dime, 6 wheat pennies, and a silver earring. 8-)

That rings is freakin sweet that wasn't Cheech and Chongs that was mine LOL I found at the Arboretum here in A2 a brass opium pipe from around 1900 has Chinese etching in it Thanks for sharing that is bad ass!!!
 

Congratulations on a great day. Really nice silver finds. Very nice and unique ring find.
 

Great day with the silver but, that ring is Awesome!!
 

Great hunt there, still looking for my first Snuf ring here , congrats !!
 

Great looking ring....it is also called a poison ring and that style goes all the way back to Egyptian times when it was used for the purpose of doing yourself in in the event of a uprising by your followers or so I've been told.

I agree! This goes to antiquity.

That leaf design on it tells a much different story though!
 

Loving that ring. :occasion14:
 

Fantastic hunt and that ring is sweet. [emoji2]

Awesome Stash aka Poison ring :thumbsup: I Like :laughing7:
 

Considering the motif, I doubt it was snuff being snorted out of there!
