Well its 3 rings in 1 week for me I didnt find that many all last year this one is special. I took the ring to a jeweler today he priced it at over $2,000.00 I almost passed out He looked at me and said are you ok lol lol Also 14 IH pennies , 1876 -CC seated dime, 1854 seated quarter, a colonial silver spoon, a sterling silver skull necklace, a colonial buckle, another old weight and misc. artifacts.
14.54 in clad and 32 wheaties.
What a pain it is cleaning this stuff all the silver and gold is coming out of the river black. my fingers stink like rotten eggs cleaning the stuff off
dont let the pic fool you my webcam takes greenish pics the ruby is bright red and the ring very gold. I also found a platinum wedding band ond other coins and artifacts that are posted on IGH forum
follow the link and visit the forum also jd

Nice finds!
J.D. - do you ever work? You must not be married or have kids, cause you have the fever worse than many I know! After our club meeting I'll post some pics of some really nice stuff I found this month. Keep it swinging! wink
