I found this kids ring in a tot lot by some swings. Not even an inch below the wood chips. Sorry for the flash, it is gold not plated.

My biggest quarter find. 55 clad quarters found in 2 hunts $13.75. I was using my ace 250 and just cherry picked them up at a park that used to have a carnival every year. By the third hunt there I had well over 80 quarters, but I don't have a pix of all of them.

Great variety of nice finds. I'd give you HUGE kudos for finding the original owner of the wedding band (but yes, it would be hard to part with a chunk of gold like that!)

It has no engraving other than the makers mark & its a plain smooth ring, so its mine - LOL. :icon_pirat:
