So ive detected my yard to nothing man - so i thought. About a month ago decided to start metal detecting slower.... And pulled out ring 1, missing the stone however, was pretty excited anyways because it was my first, looked pretty old to, guessing silver plated brass/copper or whatever. Then today i pulled out, in the same yard, (back of the yard this time, first one was in the front) A ring, with the stone still in it! Originally had 5 stones total, the 2 accent stones on either side are gone, but the big boy is still there! Thought diamond so i did a glass-scratch test, slightly scratched the stone (Oops! Not diamond 
) But after doing some research it appears that a common substitute stone was white sapphire.. Which this LOOKS like it is, wont know until i take it to a jeweler.. I think it was a husband/wife ring, reason being is they both have the same prong style, look to be from the same era, my guess is late 1800s - early 1900s? Overall im very happy about pulling my first 2 rings from the same yard, in 1 month.
