1919 Class Ring. My "BEST" find from this site.Got a name Tracking for Relatives
I have been hunting this small park for many years. It was once an old school from ( appox ) 1902-1963.
It has yielded many older coins many years ago ( 1986-1990 )
I go there once in a while and every time I get a new machine.
Today I took the etrac there for the 3rd time.
Found a 1910 wheatie in an area that was hit hard in the past.
I decided to try a small area that I had never swung a coil in and within 5 minutes I got a 1935 Wheatie and the soil was nice and black....Virgin ground I thought...
5 feet away I got a real nice solid 12-47 all the way around.... and at least 1/2 way down the gage...Hmmmm I thought,
SILVER QUARTER for sure....depth was at least 6-8 inches..
Dug my plug so I wouldn't scratch it... Pulled some dirt out, probed it, I found the target was still down there...
dug a bit out and in one clump of dirt I saw the band of the ring....
Cleaned some dirt off and was greeted with a 1919 Maine H S Class Ring....
Pretty sure it's a girls ring. It doesn't even fit on my pinky.
My " BEST" of many from this small park....
91 years old ring
Thanks for looking.
