another Find today.

Felt something Walking under My shirt
But Couldn't find it.

Then it Dug in.

Heated a Kinfe point Red hot & Toughed it
& It backed out

Dime for size.



Deer Tic ?

 

[Woodland Detectors]

Nice finds yous two.

 

[whitesPA]

nice finds jeff silver is nice-- i want to get out but just dont have the time --maybe in a couple o weeks i will get caught up

 

[djm of PA]

judging from size, i'd say a wood tick or deer ked. Ked would have 6 legs and you'd feel them bite. Tick would have 8 and due to their paralytic mucous, you would not feel them sink in.
what are the odds on the same day we were talking about them

 

[HISPAN]

Nice the face button and silvers....congrats!

[texjim]

Although the one side looks like 4
I'm going to say 6 Legs It's very tiny, & Flat.
Maybe 1/8" long

I Definately felt it Bite, otherwise I Never would have
seen where to look.

IF I'v had them on me Before, Or get one
one me in the future & too Busy
to feel the Bite . My Guess he could
make a Perminant residence on Me
LOL. especially on my Back.


Thanks all !

Going to try & Mow grass tomorrow Tex.

Hey Buddy.

Remember the Landowner
saying he'd Like to Have the ring ?

If your Planning on hedding over that way
at some point, you can drop it off for him.

hopefully he'll Spread it around
to his Family & Friends

let me know

Jeff

Jeff, that is entirely up to you. I will be over that way on the weekend and I'm sure he'd be ecstatic about it, but the impression I got from him was that he wasn't expecting it. I'm going to clean up a few of the wheats and give to him as well. He has a lot of friends in the area and maybe that will help us secure more spots

 

[steelheadwill]

Nice Silver and Bust button
Nasty biting critter :P

Yea I'm sure He'll get more Conversation out of it
then I will

that ring may be from a religious background. at some time it was illegal for priests or maybe friars to have gold, so the parents would hide the gold in a brass ring. wealthy parents would also supplement income as well.

I Thought of that when I Pulled it out
& it was Very Green.
Thought maybe Paint.

Was found in Front of a Former Church

See That Spot of Gold on the Front ?



Electrolysis Didn't Remove it,
But did Clean the Seam.

Hard to tell from the Pics
But trust me
it is Gold inside the Seem Too



& Does look plated.



Odd they would use Brass though

 

[Rick (Nova Scotia)]

Good variety, not counting that ______ parasite.

Over the last few years Ive seen several of these brass "18K" plated rings turn up, and even dug one myself.. seems like a sort of counterfeit in the earlier half of the 1900's

 

[thrillathahunt]

Like umrgolf, I too have found falsely marked "gold" rings. This was very prevalent before 1906, that is why the Stamping Act was passed. Good conversation piece though.
