Good evening T-Net Nation-
I was able to get out for a short woodsy hunt this afternoon. I only had a couple of hours so I returned to a new spot that had recently produced a crusty IHP and a fancy gilded cufflink.
After scratching around for about an hour I hit on a beautiful high tone that turned out to be my first and only Barber half dollar, dated 1897. Pretty damn exciting!

I spent about another 45 minutes combing over the same area when to my surprise out popped a ring. It's marked "14 k", and has a pretty red stone and some nice engraving.

A great day of detecting for sure! Thanks for looking and HH!

Congrats on another First!

I wonder if the stone is carnelian, if not worth checking out...

Thanks Crusader. I plan to have the ring checked out by my local jeweler and see if the band can be repaired. I'm guessing he will be able to give me some ideas about the stone and the age of the ring. I've never heard of carnelian. I'll have to look that one up.

Killer half and grabbing some gold on the same hunt=SUCCESS, for sure.

Grats and thanks for sharing.
