My precious

[Turbo21]

Back at the 1900 site. This small yard is never hunted out. I get something good everything I go there

6" deep with a 94 showing on my eurotek pro. And out pops this big honking silver ring. I was kinda confused when I wiped it off in the field. It is marked Napier sterling. I always thought Napier just made costume jewlery but after a little research I found that they made sterling pieces in the 1940s.

Only other coin found there today was a 1930 wheat

How is it that the shank is nowhere to be seen (except a side view in one pic ) did it break off ? - nice silver regardless !

Yes it snapped off when I dig it

The shank only connects on 1 side so that it is an adjustable ring
