Doesn't matter if its gold or silver or even a junk metal ring (some guys have collector rings that are valuable like old Superman or other radio or TV character rings)

Ok, I'll bite. Favorite gold coin. 1774 British Gold Guinea (posted previously), from the Faithful Steward Shipwreck off the Delaware coast. Found after Hurricane Sandy. This is NOT a ring. They are locked up, will have to get to them later today.

Very Nice!
 

Favorite ring and not the most valued would have to be a odd silver ring I found in OC MD 2014, seems like every time I wore the ring I would find gold. It all started when I found it just north of the Pier in OC, the very next ring I found was a 27,000.oo dollar 2 carat stone. From that point on I wore the little silver ring as Good Luck. And strange is, if I wore the ring in the Chesapeake bay it would turn a gold color. (Pictured below) Wore the ring many years, 2014 to 2020, in that time I would say I dug over 700 gold rings while wearing it.. Sad is,... I lost it playing ball with the grandsons in 2020.. at a park in Virginia. I figure it did its magic and it was time it moved on to a new owner.

my first ring of any kind was probably junk - remember my first gold one though
i was 12 - found it on football field of an old school - gave it to my mom
she wore it for like 10 yrs and it didnt fit anymore
 

Favorite ring this year (2022) is an 18k gold and forged carbon David Yurman ring (retail $1,950) that actually fits me at size 12! Thought it was just another junker when I first found it in 4ft of water in Gulf. First ring I've worn in years due to arthritis.

This is my favorite ring. 15.8g of 18K , 5 diamonds , 2 rubies ( I think they're rubies ? ) Found in waist deep water. I thought it had to be fake when I pulled it out of the scoop !

I like gemstones....I tend to keep the gemstone rings. The bands get sold or traded for mounting the treasure coins I find. Heres a few gemstone rings.
 

My favorite found ring is this one found by my grandpa in the 1930s while he was digging in his garden in Burlington, Iowa. My mom said he even put an add in the lost and found of the local paper and know one responded. I looked into how old it appeared to have been made and it would date sometime in the last quarter of the 19th century, so I'm thinking it would have been lost as long as 40 or so years before my gandpa dug it up around 1934-35 as my mom thought she was around 10 or 11 when she remembered her dad finding it. Who ever lost it must have lost it shortly after she received it, because the condition is like it was only worn for a short time. It is a late 19th C. 18ct gold engagement ring with five diamonds and I can only think of the disappointment that some young woman would've experienced so long ago. The house my mother grew up in where the ring was found was built in the later 19th century around the 1870s I believe it was.
