Awesome Jarhead Ring!

pointdlr · Dec 3, 2009

Haven't been able to get out much lately, so nothing much to show. Today I had from 4:30 PM till dark(sunset 5:15), so I headed to a park located within a mile of my house. It is well known, and pounded quite hard. I found this awesome US Marine ring in an area I have hunted many times, and who knows how many other coils went over it. The only thing I can figure is that it was close to the sidewalk and an underground power line, so people must not have heard it. It gave a good, but mixed signal. After opening the hole, I ran the coil again, and it sang out in goodness. Maybe something in the ground above the ring? I don't know, just happy to have found it. It was down about 5". Ring is marked Sterling and marked with a maker Crest-Craft. I don't think it is even a small stretch to assume the center medallion is gold. Not sure on age other than Post WWII from the Iwo-Jima motif.

Where I hunt it has all been gone over time & time again but I think I am the only one that goes along the edge of the side walk or any other cement barrier. I do find many targets that others have gone over or simply missed. Just like your nice ring, keep it to yourself & it will always be a good spot to hit.

Jeff,
I am the owner of the ring now. Old owner didn't put any name/initials on it. No way to ID, and it was surely in the ground for a number of years. Thanks for the message. Where in South West Ohio? I am in Cincinnati.
