Found a Ring!

[Diggenit2]

Newbeeee here!

I have been detecting for a couple of years now with a real cheap detector,I have found a couple of pennies dating early twenties. Even a 1904 wheat.
I have also found a Utah state tax token.
In the spring of 2006 I found a ring in about six inches of swift moving water.

Thanks Mike

World War I 1917-1918

[edit] Commanding General, 3rd Infantry Division
Dickman was given command of the 3rd Infantry Division in November of 1917, at the onset of World War I. He deployed 3rd Division to France aboard the Leviathan at noon, on March 4, 1918. He was the 3rd Division Commander at Chateau-Thierryin May 1918 and was made famous at the Second Battle of the Marne in July of 1918. While allied forces on both flanks retreated, the 3rd Division stood fast in the face of fantastic enemy offensives, which led to their moniker, "The Rock of the Marne."


[edit] Commanding General, IV Corps
Dickman commanded IV Corps from August to September of 1918, to include the Saint-Mihiel Offensive in September 1918.


[edit] Commanding General, I Corps
Dickman commanded I Corps from October to November 1918, to include the Meuse-Argonne Offensive.


[edit] Commanding General, Third Army, Nov. 1918-Apr. 1919
Third Army was established under the command of Dickman by General John J. Pershing in France to advance to the Rhein and hold the Coblenz bridgehead, then prepare to serve after the war as the Army of Occupation. The Third Army would have become the Army of Occupation whether or not the enemy signed the peace agreement. American fighting units not sent home were consolidated under Third Army and prepared to attack if Germany did not accept the terms of peace. The United States itself was not to sign the agreement but remained technically at war with Germany for two more years.

Both my Grandfathers served in Europe in WW1 - both copped gas, but survived.

Cheers, Mike

please say it has a name or letters "etched" inside the band --please--as it is a world war one ring --by a person who served ---humm just a idea---try cross matching 3rd division records from WW1 and see if any boys were hometown types---you could get a possibles list or maybe even a match ---esp if tthe ring has a name or letters "etched" on it--even without "a name or letters" it you at least would have a high % idea of whos ring it might have been---good luck Ivan
