So, I got this hit, see? So, I knelt down, dug, and pulled
from what was a pretty good entanglement of roots, this
dog tag looking thing:

It had this root hanging from it that looked like
a pin! I kid you not! LOL

When I read the other side, I rather quickly retreated! :tongue3:

Anyhoo, such a nice sunny day out but short on time.
I was figuring on just cladulating but with this strange find,
I should've known HE had something a bit more special in mind. :)

After a couple more pennies I got this next thing:

2016 (351).jpg

All I saw was.......gold... LOL

2016 (352).jpg

Still a neat find and more evidence of a strange hunt. :)

Lastly, and I really mean "lastly"! As I was officially
"OTWBTMC" :)

I got this hit I simply called as a quarter. I mean, it was a
PERFECT clad quarter hit. Just like sooooo many others
I've turned there. Although , this one, would prove to be
a lil different:

2016 (355).jpg
2016 (356).jpg

Just gotta love it when that happens!!! :)

All in all, a short but very productive walk!

2016 (342).jpg
2016 (343).jpg

Even this piece! It is SOLID brass and weighs
in at a full half pound! LOL

2016 (346).jpg
2016 (347).jpg

There is a mark on the ring but I can't
quite make it out. What do you see?

To those who know styles of rings, could this be antique?
Regardless, it is a VERY pretty ring!


Thanks for taking a moment to peek !

Super cool finds, Whadi, congratulations! I see the mark on your beautiful ring as "925" with the "5" so lightly struck that it is barely visible. It is a looker! Sub 8-)

We're DEFINITELY living in the wrong area!! WOW!!

That brass thing looks like something off of a battery set (something that uses multiple batteries).

It is a beautiful ring. I also like the "Weeblos" tie ring. I haven't seen one of those in many years.

That was my initial take on this thing too. But, better eyes have told me that it's actually 82. Possibly a mistruck stamp. Probably European. Also, it passed the 10kt acid test with flying colors! :) We figure the center stone is Citrine. Very happy!

Thanks!

I have no clue as to the style, but that ring is a real eye-catcher! If I brought that home, my wife would begin asking me "Aren't you going to go metal detecting today?"

Hi WhadIFind; Great ring. Best thing to do is to take it to a Pro Jeweler and have it ID'd and Appraised. The stones are to nicely set to be fake. Great Find. Repost the results when you get them ok. PEACE:RONB

Ole Sub. was the one who saw 925. In person, (with someone's younger eyes), it's actually an 82 and possibly a bad stamping. Maybe, 825? I've been told this appears to be European. :dontknow:

I have all the info I need on it, I'm satisfied with what we've discerned. I don't rate my finds by dollar signs. ;)

Thanks!

Hi WhadI Find; Remember that it was very common practice to place good stones in silver settings back then. remember it was the Great Depression. Folks saved money any way they could. PEACE:RONB

My first thought was 82 However I edited my post
after seeing the 925 Remark & looking again :laughing7:

I guess I should have went with my first look
