Not a whole lot of targets left at this spot, but enough for a little fun.
Got a 1944-s cent,
a Sears Ted Williams 12g head stamp,
a key,
an aluminum Four Roses whiskey label,
a GE cap from something,
a lead soldier,
and a 14k gold plated ring

Had high hopes for the ring when it was dirty but could quickly tell it was a dud as soon as I started cleaning it off.

Is that GE cap threaded? Their fridges with the compressors on top came with glass water bottles made by Hemingray ( they also made glass insulators, oil lamps) and also Owens Illinois when they acquired Hemingray in 1933. The Owen's bottles have that oi diamond mark on base. The bottle caps for the fridge bottles were aluminum and had GE on top. I have 2 of the bottles. One has original cap.

Good mix of finds! There's always something left!

Those are cool!
 

Actually I like the ring, even if it's only plated and with a faux stone it's still a pretty thing. I've yet to turn up a ring of any sort so I see stuff like that and get a little green. Nice haul!

It's smooth with no threads, and made of brass.
