Step right up for the THREE RING CIRCUS ! ! !

[CoinandRelicMan]

Here is all the trash that was found today in the process of retrieving the three rings !



Todays the day of the "Three Ring Circus !"

Here are the three dirty rings for today !



Rings 1 and 2 cleaned:



Ring 1 is the biggest silver ring that I have ever found! It is very heavy (no markings inside) and is some kind of a Union ring. It was at least 4 inches down and there was also a quarter situated in its vicinity. Found the quarter after the ring.

Ring 2s inside marking, think it says K 147 , any ideas on what this means?



This ring looks to be a fairly old ring, the retrieval was tough took me three tries to get it out of the dirt it was at least five inches down maybe a bit more. The signal topped out low mid pull-tab range but sounded very mellow and sweet, was close within five feet of the union ring find. It was a pure shock when the beautiful yellow roundness emerged from the soil, knew it was a good ring immediately! And to think that I almost gave up trying to extract it from the soil, it was a close thing! Smiled the whole day afterwards !!

Close up of some of the carving on the ring :


Love the way the stone looks sort of like a window with beautiful purples in it !!
This might be my favorite ring find of all time, its just has so many good features !!

Ring three was found on route back to my truck. It looked fairly good when dug but on closer inspection later it is just gold plated, still it completes my "Three Ring Circus" so I will take that !!



Complete goods found today making the Big Top !



Hope you enjoyed your visit to the "Three Ring Circus" May you find your smile tomorrow like I did today !!

There's just not much better than to turn a plug and having a gold ring smiling up at you.

I really like that 2nd one!

Thanks Mate ! I fished it out with my fingers since the grass type there will not allow plugs, it all just dies when you do that. Extraction was difficult to say the least. Was good luck that my screwdriver did not do more damages than the slight scratch on the inside of the band and a small chip on bottom of the gem.

Well, one has to do what they must in order to be able to hunt. I've hunted with a screwdriver and it can really be frustrating, AND damaging to the find.

I used to dull and round off the screwdriver as much as possible. That way I could probe and cut down on damage.

Still, better scratched than not finding.

Nice digs.

Gold is rather soft even rounded theres possibility of damages =) Believe it or not I did three slits with my screwdriver at least before getting any kind of response from the Pro-pointer ! Detector sounded off fine was a smooth and mellow sounding signal. Was so close to walking away from that pull-tab level signal too =D Makes the find even more special to me, am I starting to sound a bit like "Gold Fever" Lol ??

True enough that gold is soft and anything can damage. BUT, which would damage easier? Sharp? or Dull? LOL

So you have a touch of "yellow fever"! You're entitled! Enjoy!

Gotta love rings!

Hi thommo from Australia ! Yeah they are always good to find even if just a cheap kids ring, but silver and gold do tend to be favored !

 

[beez0404]

The silver ring is really interesting, but the gold ring is amazing! A hearty congratulation on that gem.

I'd hit that place over and over again until I stopped finding anything. Nice circus And yes, even go over the exact same area.
