........sort of........
Work has curtailed my hunting time down, but I manage to detect whenever and where ever possible........customer parking areas, small public grassy areas next to job sites.......literally any where..........I've been able to maintain about a clad dollar a day average with a wheatie thrown in here and there.
Did manage to get an hour in before sunset today at a local school.......packed up and headed home. Just before pulling the van into the alley to our garage, I decided to stop and do a quickie 2 or 3 signal curb search at the church on the corner before the sun dropped over the roof tops and............3rd and final signal..........

Congrats on the big ring. Now tell us all if it is sterling, marked, what kind of stone in the emblem, etc... (It looks like sterling with black onyx to me....) Sub 8-)

Apologies for the lack of information about the ring......(too much excitement)..........it's an ESPO men's sterling silver solitaire with black onyx and a diamond center........the diamond is missing. Near as I can figure it is circa 1950's and weight .22 ozs. (stone included).
P.S.: I'm going to replace the dirt in that plug tomorrow.........I'm goin' after the diamond!!!

Sweet ring Chizzy, :thumbsup: It just goes to show you never know what's in the ground until you swing your coil over it.

Firstly congrats on the ring.
I think going back to the plug and taking/ replacing the dirt Is a great idea, that diamond might have been pushed out of its setting by the ground being frozen. Best of luck hope you find it.
