Detector(s) used
Minelab Explorer SE, Minelab Excalibur II, Whites Prizm IV & Garrett Pro-Pointer
I was detecting a local county fairground that is iver 150 years old, and got a mixed nickel/silver coin signal I decided to dig it and cut a nice big plug when I flipped it and removed the loose dirt this is what I saw!!!! Instant heart attack!!!! I'm not going to reveal what it is just yet. I want to leave you guys in suspense for a day or so!!!! LOL!!!! I'm not saying it's good and I'm not saying it's junk. One of my My detecting buddies (Corinth1812) was there when I dug this and I'm so glad i had a witness!!!

feel free to venture a guess. I will post a pic of the find Sunday Morning. p.s. it's not a pulltab and it is not any kind of screwcap/bottlecap and it is not junk either!!

how cruel! I'm thinking a sweet gold ring - the "reeding" looks too far apart to be a gold coin, but I hope it's gold either way!
First off I liked to remind everyone that it is against tnet rules to post a find that you already have knowledge of what it is an not post that an to make people guess.... 2nd I think it is a gold coin made into a ring....
 
So, If i vote banner right now before you show us what it is, do they put your first picture up top!!!! :laughing9: :icon_sunny: :laughing9: HH chug
 
That's cruel. :wink:

Maybe it's the Ark of the Covenant?
 
could be the whole 57 chevy. looks like he dug up half the yard to get to it.great find though. :icon_thumleft:
 
Is it a pull tap fashioned into a seated dime? looks a little thick though! a straight 8 from a Hudson Hornet? lol! :tongue3:
 
Oh for the love of................. All of this wild, wild guessing!!

It's a gold goin in a reeded bezel of course.

I'll take my prize now. :laughing9: :laughing9:
