Had to work on my car and do the yardwork today so no early hunt. After finishing my so-called chores I hit a close by school that was built in 1915. It's been hammered by me and many others over the years. Once I got there I saw yet again some uncut grass. Limited for time (leaving shortly for a week of training in Connecticut) I figured I would pick up some clad. Running high disc just dig to coins. I get a weird but repeatable signal and around 7" down I see a glimmer of silver. It turned out to be the ring with a greenish blueish stone in it with gold inlays on each side. It's marked 14K inlaid. Also a 1932 wheatie and some clad. Total hunt around an hour and 15 minutes. I weighed the ring on my digital scale I use for ebay and comes up 15 grams. Gonna go back once the grass is cut. Good luck out there.
HH, Mike in NJ
