Not a bad haul for a few hours work. Got a 1962 quarter, a sterling ring with roadrunners and cacti on it, a 1960 matchbox Ever-Ready for Life truck, a fire chief car, a cool old cabinet key, and a bunch of this 'n' that. Oh, and the gorilla, of course. Found him gazing over a hole I was digging.

Thanks for looking! Bonus pic: Yesterday's view from my balcony...

I think the ring is really cool- and likely made in New Mexico (state bird ) might be- Bell trading co. what I can partially make out of the hallmark
looks like theirs. I think they went out of business in the 1970's /early 80's Nice find
