Nazi ring found.... Have you ever seen one of these??????

Jamesbondaka · Jan 19, 2011

I found this ring yesterday, in the same area as I found a WWI medallion a few months back......a little different looking at some thing....looking back at you.

Lately, if its weird....I will find it.....more gold would be nice but this is sure interesting piece of how it was in years past.

If you know anything about this....please let me know thanks

A rough translation would be something like "public interest before self interest"

This states it was a "Nazi civic slogan" :

It was also used on some coins then :

Wow! :icon_thumleft:

That's a little spooky to find Hitler looking back at you.

That's got to be a very collectable item. One of those bikers would like to wear something like that.

Re: Let me know if you ever seen one of these!

nothing ever like that, I did dig up a 14k ring once that went right on my pinky though. I sifted through the blue clay and saw it on my finger, dug up 4 musket balls and a barrel band in the same hole.

alot of people collect wwII stuff so I'm sure it's worth some money, but I wouldn't want it. congrats on the find I hope it's worth a bundle.

Sanoma County Mike, Just wanted to let you know that as a biker for more than twenty years I would NOT like to wear one of those. Ill stick with my 3rd degree Masonic Blue Lodge ring. Although it is a neat find.

Congrats on your unusual find :thumbsup:

I'm thinking that it is quite valuable :hello2:

Jamesbondaka · Jan 20, 2011

Re: Let me know if you ever seen one of these! new pic!

Im not sure if its valuable or not but I do think its a rare piece, even though this time in history was "twisted" to say the least...its history worth noting and learning from. Edjcox thanks for the translation and point of view. All races & governments have their "dark hours". Some more than others !
I am not a "relic" collector but Ive been getting lucky in the past few months. I will say this....that if I find buried WWI german gold at that location....I wont feel guilty a bit. ANYTHING found might have an "infamous" past but Im just detecting and dont have anything to do with that time in history. Like this ring...it was lost, hidden or buried along time ago and might have been lost forever, if I wasnt lucky enough to find it.

Thanks all!

I agree with that. A very interesting find for sure.

I found another here on a German based site which I think is close to matching yours? Hard to see it clearly-

Re: Let me know if you ever seen one of these! new pic!

It is not a match but about the closest one so far. Similar style but different face. I would doubt that this was one of a kind so I would think there are more out there...I hope? It was a long time ago.

Thank you for the post!
