Finds 3-15-10

[p2c]

Hi all, after work I got out this afternoon. I went to the trash pit/heap/etc . Unbeknownst to me, 3 guys had been hitting the place pretty hard.... That explains it.

That and my headphones broke. I debated leaving, but instead used the built in speaker on the etrac -- really hard especially with planes flying overhead.

Anyway, I managed a 1917 wheat and an ugly men's sterling sliver ring. I can't tell if it is a real stone or just glass. I would not be surprised if it was glass it's so ugly. The back of the glass or stone is the same color, but opaque and maybe has a series of lines (like when a road is scraped prior to being repaved). Besides sterling it has a mark (not pictured DIA-MT). I would have rather pulled a merc or rosie, but I'll take it. Tried to look up the mark, but couldn't find any info. Any body know the style/ possible date. I am glad anyway that people don't wear rings like this anymore (no offense if you do...)

That is one fugly ring. Nice old wheatie. What time were you there? We left at 4:00-4:30.

I was there from 1:30 to 4:30; Was in the north section in the woods. At one point I thought I heard a few guys talking in the far distance. Maybe it was you if you were in the woods. I stayed in the woods because the Authority figure was pretty active driving around...

Goodjob beating that trash back for a keeper Jon!

The ring Jon looks to be the heavy duty type. Stone is probably synthetic, glass would most likely have fractured. DFW

Great find, I would gladly take a silver ring over a merc anyday. A coin is just a coin no big deal but a ring meant something special to somebody (like a self expresion or or part of their image that they projected to the world).

I agree ,I think finding any jewelry is a good find.
