Hi guys this was found at A Train Depot here in Mo. it was 12in. away from a sidewalk about 2in...down it was a strong 17 VDI on my XLT... in a 4 ft. radius around the ring was a 1929 SLQ, 4 silver dimes, 3 buffalo nicks, and 4 v nicks.... it was wild!! there was nothing else in the entire area!!! but junk after that :) hehe....

ALSO: Hello All, I am Inviting friends from Treasure-Net, To a Civil War encampment hunt on Saturday Oct. 14th 2006 from 9 A.M. Until 6 P.M. Only Registered T-Net members from 7-13-06 and before will be allowed to attend, this will stop rouge Relic Hunters from trying to just come.
This is for us friends at Treasure Net.
Details: There is a $25.00 sign -up fee for Detectorists non detectorists will have to pay $10.00 This is first come first served only the first 50 payed will be allowed to attend. The money will be used for refreshments, Door Prizes, and donation to the land owner. I have also added a PAY PAL donation link on the site for those who's like to pay by Pay Pal.
The land was occupied by 4,000 plus Union Civil War Soldiers during all 4 years of the War, there are original earthworks still on the property today, they were put there to guard a major railroad bridge the General thought there would be a major battle there and large earthworks were built, but the battle never happened. this spot has been metal detected before I was there last week and In 15 min. I found a $200.00 seated half dime less than 2 in. deep and found 6 dropped minnie balls... and an eagle button, there are many items still to be found.
LOCATION: The exact location will be given out to payed hunters only, you can find Motel rooms and food in Sedalia Mo. that is near the site of the hunt. Memebers so far that I believe are attending:
Gypsyheart ,
Tsgman ,
Nana40 ,
River Rat ,
bgscofield ,
Scotty,

cool find JD especially since the engagement ring is still attached to the wedding ring. Nice
 

they are welded together at the back end of the ring its pretty cool looking I guess they used to do it like that... :)
 

WOW :o That's awesome!!

;) River
 

Another beautiful ring! Very nice! That sponsored search sounds great, but I don't think I can make it. Can I still chip in a few bucks to help out? Just send it to the paypal link?
Keep searching!
 

yes Rat Racer thank you very much!! we sure appreciate that. jd

yeah that what i recorded if it didnt get so hot in the summer here id be out even more!!
 

Very nice! How would you date the ring? Based on what you found with it early 1900's? You dig a lot of pull tabs?
Nate and I were down in the metroparks yesterday swimming through waves of pull tabs. One of the "tabs" sounded a little higher so I dug. Out came a silver ring. ;D I'm starting to want to find more rings....getting greedy. ;D :D

The ring is most likely from the 20's based on the setting and the detail in it. However I think it could date as far back as the 1890's based on the same info. Obviously the coins found around it back up the date range. If you can get a clearer and more up close picture of the setting and maybe a picture of the inside of the band....more specifically any markings I may be able to get with in a year or 2. Older diamond and gold rings used to be somewhat of a ....lets say..... small obsession for me.
