Amazing ccc ring

[metaldetecta]

The ccc was around from 1933 to 1942 during the Great Depression. I was digging right next to my house thinking that the hit was aluminum siding but to my surprise I dug up this beauty! I do not know anything about it and couldn't find it online. I hope you enjoy!

That is a great find! There was a CCC camp near me that I never got to detect. It's a big school now. Nice bit of history !

That ring is one of the coolest things I have ever seen anyone dig up. Congrats on an awesome find! I searched the web and found other CCC rings, but none like that. I love the tree.

I just got an offer for the ring of $100, I found it very generous but I don‘t think I can take the offer. I have had a great time displaying the ring but that guy is dying to have the ring. I have no idea on the value but I would like to know. Any info on the value would be appreciated. I also made a video and got an email from the CCC president (has too much personal info might edit it later so I can post)which made my day! Enjoy http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RuewxMv_sOw

This is a really neat historical find. I would never sell it if I found something like that. In my area, it is amazing how much work they did. We have bridges and a lot of the rock work on the military post close to where I live was performed by the CCC.

Don't know anything about value, but love your ring! Whether you keep it or sell it, in either case you had the unique pleasure of discovering and sharing it! I sold a dug groovy custom-made gold ring this year to get cash to help a family member, despite it being my best find to date -- I took good photos of the ring first, and as it turns out, I have no regrets about selling it! I'll always recall the thrill of digging it up! Sometimes, cash in hand is more important than keeping our finds.

Growing up in central Virginia, we'd see the excellent stone work done by the CCC who made the low stone walls along the Blue Ridge Mountains' curving Skyline Drive; Virginia CCC also built structures at the Sherando Lake swimming, camping & hiking area tucked in those lovely old mountains. So later, living here in California, I enjoyed reading up on what the CCC built here in California. Those young guys didn't earn much, but they got fed, which during the Depression was pretty much the #1 priority! Andi

I just decided its not for sale! I also live in an area that had the CCC around a lot and I figure that I will cherish it opposed to selling it for cheap.
