Just a few relics

[Ohio Jerry]

The ring was a cool find but not sure what material it's made of or the significance of the 14 stamped inside. It's definitely not gold or silver. It rings a 69-70 on my dfx? Both toe taps from the same hole


The ring sure looked like a wedding band while still in the dirt but now i have my doubts.


Could the 14 be the size?

Jerry,
Nice digs. I think your ring is CW era. I found some too that were stamped like that but were not real gold. I know there was some history on that subject here on TN somewhere. Great relics!

I hear Ya Doug...I think the deal was that they left the Gold home and used the Brass Nice Dig's OJ....Can't wait to see what coin's come out of there

Nice hunt Jerry. I just found 3 of those winchester repeaters today. Any idea on the age?

Nice Ring, wonder if it was plated at some time?
What is the round object in the 2nd pic? Looks like a handle.
I found one earlier this year and never figured out what it was..
Happy New Year

Nice ring, Jerry! There's a story behind it we'll never know...

Thanks for the link on the shotgun shell ID's, too!

Cool digs! The "14" may be the ring size. HH, Mike

 

[SoreKneesDayton]

Way to go AGAIN Jerry.
You seem to find good places to hunt.
My friend has a working mans hands and takes a size 13 so a 14 would be for a large guy or maybe that is metric...lol

Nice digs Jerry, the ring looks like it might be a Sears and Roebuck ring. Many of them were sold
way back when. I have found some, like yours that are stamped gold, but they were just Gold
overlay. Still a neat find.

I found a core sample yesterday but forgot to include it in my pictures and post. Must have been
some oil wells down your way at one time or another.

Here is Wishing you a Happy Relic Hunting New Year.

No sign of any plating,the cylindrical item that looks like a screwdriver handle is a mystery. I found another piece just like it from the same site and posted it on the "what is it" forum and it just caused a lot of head scratchin It is a lightweight porous material like cast pewter maybe?

Hey Jerry!
Nice digs!

Cool Ring.

Wishing you a Happy and Lucky New Year!
