Baldingboy and I went on our weekly search for the burried treasure of Swampeast Missouri. BB sat in the passenger side of the car fuming over the way I scared him the last time we hunted together.

We were trying to find a place to hunt, I kept telling BB hunting a Concrete parking lot was NOT the way to go when we drove by a place I had asked from permission to hunt early in the year. Only problem (or good thing) was the house was GONE! They had dozed it to the ground. So we decided it would be worth a look.

After about an hour and a half with nothing but clad and lots of canslaw I told BB we should go somewhere else. He just ignored me and kept digging. I don't think he even realized that I went to the local Sonic and had a burger and rings and then came back. ::)

Anyway we started heading to he car when BB and I both got a good signal. I dug 4 wheats out of a 10 ft square section of ground, two in the same hole! We decided to take a water break and I was heading to the car when I got a good signal in the Copper range. Dug down 8 inches and pulled this ring out. It is made of copper, it has been soldered together so I know it is not a pipe fitting and it is rounded like a ring. As I mentioned in my title this ring is rather unimpressive.

I also found two keys, parts to two hotwheel type cars and lots of junk.

Don't know what the item that has the 8 and the 1/0 on it is.

Thanks for looking.

Joe,

I don't wear tutu's. Mastereagle on the other hand does. Check out the last years T-net hunt pictures. He is in full plumage there. ;D

You do know that the civil war soldiers
used to wear chep rings while serving.
They kept their nice rings safe at home.
 
pffft you just THOUGHT that ring was unimpressive! :tongue3: Surely it has some great history behind it...now if you could just torture it into sharing the history with us we would have it made! :thumbsup: Glad you escaped long enough to get some detecting done!!
 
Unimpressive? NO WAY!!! That was someone's wedding band, homemade :)...that is awesome. If only that ring could talk! Congrats on your find!

I love the way you both write your adventures, you should truly think about writing a book!!!

Happy Hunting,
Annmarie
 
Are you going to spend those pennies? LOL!

Nice finds!

Thaat "Unimpressive" copper ring might be the best recovery of the nite....Like Nick said, lots of old wedding rings were copper (cheap) for one reason or another and were handmade. :thumbsup:
Are you gonna try to clean it? The ring I mean....I looked hard but I didn't see a silver dime here... ???

Keep safe...

No silver but 5 wheats, keeping my 5-1 ratio alive. Found a Silver dime on Sunday and Five wheats on Monday, 5-to-1!!
 
i found acouple of those rings before we call them poor man rings . i think there from the early to mid 1800's ... thats the site dates i found them in .........pine out
 
Now that's an OLD ring! I've found a few of those at older home sites. Even if it's not silver or gold, you can bet someone back in the day was probably very upset over loosing it.

It's a keeper! :thumbsup:

Nana :wink:
 
Way to go M.E.! Pretty nice finds.
 
that ring might be a better find than you think :wink:
 
Thanks everyone.

Nice to see you ivan been a while since I saw you on here.
 
computer issues -- got hit by a bug
 
Great finds!

I also dug one of those copper rings a while back.

In this shape and finger size they're all finger rings. I don't even know how that pipe fitting thing ever got started.

Some have engraving inside.

These are common finds on CW battlefields due to the time when soldiers weren't permitted to wear gold.

Many poor folks ordered them from the Sears Catalog. They were very common as finger rings.

Those rings are extra great finds, don't let anybody tell you pipe fitting.

HH,

Badger
