Found the biggest ring I have ever found today and it's Silver & Gold ! #10

Oh ya !!!! Got this morning and hunted a school that I had forgotten about over the years . Eagleforce , Ryan , found the school and we meet up . After a good two hours we only had clad :BangHead: . Then about 15 feet off the black top I had a +86 at 6 inches . Now on the MXT PRO an +86 is almost always a quarter , almost always :hello2: . I dug down and saw a monster silver ring on it's side ! I pulled it out and could believe the size of it ! It is sterling with 10k gold and weighs 17.50 grams :headbang:! It is the 2nd heaviest ring I have ever found and the largest in size , a size 13 :icon_thumright: . Looks to be Celtic and has a small green stone in the middle , maybe an emerald ? That made my hunt ! The other cool old item found is a half dollar sized medal that says National Taiwan University and has a date of 1928 . Anyone have info on it ? Total clad for 3 hours was $13.05 .

That's a beautiful one
 

Not a ring fan, but like the design of that one..
 

Beautiful ring, Glen. Looks like Celtic design - maybe Irish or Scandinavian origin? Either way, congrats on a great find!
 

Great ring, congrats
 

Glen,

Beauty of a ring....the heaviest I've ever found was 10.3 grams.

Very cool ring. Found a nice celtic cross one time with some nice looking stones. Don't see those often certainly not a ring like yours.

Congratulations on the Celtic Chunk! Absolutely awesome and inspiring! Sub 8-)
 

Just so you know...

Hmmm let me start again...

I bet that ring has a "FM" mark inside. > ? ? ?
 

Word up...
Worth far more than silver.

Tis a Franklin Mint Celtic Ring.

Nice chunk of silver and gold!

The National Taiwan University was founded in 1928 under the name of "Taihaku Imperial University" by the Japanese Government, and wasn't know as National Taiwan University until 1945 after World War 2, so I'm guessing it was made at a later date to commemorate the opening of the University.
