My First 2 Rings - Silver & Gold in the Same Hole!!!

Hello Tnet Members! :hello:

I found my first two rings today and they were silver & gold! My wife left me with my daughter and her friend today, so I couldn't get out to my local high school to detect. My wife specifically told me a few months ago . . . "Now, I don't want you doing any of your digging in the backyard as you'll make a mess of it!" So of course, I waited until she went out to dig there :laughing7:

and today was that day! I was searching close to the walkway when I got a solid hit at the top of the nonferrous metal range, I thought, oh great another penny! Just then my daughter and her friend come running over from the swings to see what I've found.

I tell you, I felt like I was going in slow motion as I pulled the plug from the hole, checked it with my Pro-Pointer and then broke the plug in half. That's when I first saw these two beauties looking up at me from the mud! I swear to you, I thought I was going to cry when I first saw them! :'(

I've wanted to find a ring for a long time and now I've found silver & gold together in one hole. The rings were tied together with a gold chain bracelet that has no marks on it.

The silver ring is marked .925 and has a deep blue stone in it (possibly a birth stone ring? :dontknow:

)

The gold ring is stamped 10K and has 6 stones (possibly diamonds :icon_scratch:

) and a red stone (possibly a ruby :icon_scratch:

) in the center.

Thanks for looking and Happy Hunting!
Dave

The red stone could be a ruby--the size is what one would expect. If you would photo both rings with a light from on top and a second with a light from behind, perhaps I can make a more positive id. Good looking rings. One for your wife and one for your daughter

Yes, Mr. Administrator, he does have a wife, he does have a daughter, and he does have two rings. :dontknow:

That is one incredible find, Antiquarian :notworthy:

Two rings chained together

. The stone on the gold one can be garnet. It's difficult to tell by photos though.

Yes, Mr. Administrator, he does have a wife, he does have a daughter, and he does have two rings.

The funny thing is . . . I've been telling my daughter that "I'd give her the first ring I found." Guess what the first thing out of her mouth was when she saw what Daddy had found? You guessed it! "Daddy I want the one with the red stone in it!" :laughing7:

And no . . . my wife already has enough rings!

I'll try and get a better picture of the gold ring in natural sunlight later today.

Thanks for your comments High Plains Digger! :icon_thumright:

You're right about the stone possibly being a red garnet. :icon_scratch:

I guess I'm just hoping that it's a ruby as it's surrounded by the smaller stones. I don't even know if the smaller stones are diamonds, for all I know they might be CZ! :laughing7:

Cheers mate! Love seeing you're finds as well! :icon_thumright:

Hey Dave, I was going to reply to your last post, to tell you, you will find a ring, It is easy to be right after the fact, isn't it.

Also a person should start their digging in one's own yard. If you would have started there see how much shorter your wait would have been.

By the way they are both nice looking pieces. I also got a silver and gold last time out, (just finished vid posting soon) but not in the same hole, that is extra cool.

Congrats,
Rick

Re: My First 2 Rings - Silver & Gold in the Same Hole!!!

I would bet that someone cried bucketsful after losing those two nice rings.
And, they look quite old. Those are not new rings.....those are some old settings.
Great finds......Your daughter's comment, and your wife's smiling comment....made my day.....(Don't even ask about the
2 ounce solid 24K gold ring that I found......still crying over that one.) :thumbsup:
