I got yesterday to metal detect. I didn't find much. But I did find a Buffalo Bill Jr ring, 1950's criteria.

That's a great find Hoagie, is it complete?

These kids’ rings were made of brass, had adjustable bands and date from 1950s. These were likely a promotional giveaway from Mars Candy. On the sides are designs of a gun in holster and bucking bronco. On the ring top is a copyright mark above the letter "A" accented by a pair of wings to form the "Flying" A symbol of Gene Autry, the producer of the show.

It's not in good condition, but it is complete.

I think it's in amazing condition, considering it belonged to a child and was probably well loved before it was lost. These rings were affordably produced as a 'give-a-way' to kids in the 1950s, the fact that your find is complete and only missing some of the gold paint is fantastic.

Thanks for the follow up pics Hoagie.
