3 rings and a heap o' rust

I got out last week for a hunt to a nearby county. My girlfriend (and occasional MDing partner) had researched the location of some of her county's early settler's homes. We recovered a heap of iron including a gasket for a 4 cylinder engine, a large pipe (no silver inside!), several large square nails/spikes, Springfield rifle casings, and assorted nuts and bolts. We want to return and try to pinpoint where one of the houses once stood. We broke for lunch and afterwards my kids were requesting some playground time. We hit three nearby playgrounds and I found a ring at each lot, two being junk. The third ring was a bit better than average and it appears to be marked "925" although it is not real clear. Also recovered a razor blade charm which gave us a scare when my 6 YO son first picked it up. We also grabbed $1.34 in clad, which won't quite cover my gas expense for the day.

Had a fun day and only one tick encounter, which we won. My faith in tot lots has been somewhat restored. Also enjoyed hearing the Big Girl reminisce about her childhood haunts.

Thanks for looking and HH!

Way to go Anne! I take it the ring with the green stone is the silver one? What are you going to do with all that rusty stuff? My wife would kill me if I brought it home. LOL I've been waiting for you to find some rings...thanks for shortening the wait!

Bob: Yes, the green ring is the silver one. It was nice to bump up our ring count as I haven't been hitting the tot lots much lately. I would really like to find some older coins, which have eluded us so far. Regarding the rust pile, my husband is surprisingly tolerant about my collections. The little stuff will get pitched and the bigger stuff will go on our trailer to the local scrap yard = $$.

I think you have a keeper with the silver ring, nice cut on the green stone, could be worth a few $

Looks like the ace is capturing a lot of rings for you as well

Hello Anne!
That razor pendant is awesome; I've never seen one like that!
You have to wonder though whom would wear such! Lol!

Yes, it is rather strange. I just told my husband maybe he could pierce on of his nipples and dangle it there......don't think he'll go for it.

Nice finds! Did you find the rings in the tot lot? I keep trying to talk myself into checking the tot lot but always stay out in the grass.

Mark:

Yes, the rings were found on the playgrounds. Two of them were sand = easy digging!
