Old Gold and Big silver Rings ! Rings #62 & #63

[pl8man]

Got out for a afternoon hunt at a local elementary school that has been good to me for many years ! I have found lots of silver at the school but never gold , that changed today . Only about 20 minutes into the hunt at the back corner of the soccer field I got a sweet +18 at 6 inches . I was a happy man when I saw beautiful GOLD !It looks to be old and missing a big stone . I looked all around for the stone but no luck . When I got home I tested it and it passed 18K with flying colors ! It almost holds on a 22K acid test , witch makes me think it might be 20K ! It weighs 4.3 grams , not bad ! After that I found a 1946 wheat cent and a 1958 nickel . Then I had a +74 at 2 inches , it turned out to be a Western Cowboy boot . It's in the tumbler right now , when it's clean I'll post a picture . Last but not least I got a +82 at 7-8 inches , BAM Big silver ring . It's the largest silver ring I have found this year . This brings my ring totals to #63 for the year . Total clad for about 2 hours was $6.58 .

Great finds ! I think the stone might be worth going back and grabbing the dirt under and around where you found that gold
ring - bring it home and sift it ! ( obviously you'll want to bring some replacement soil with you to tidy up the plug area )

When I first found the ring I dug all around the hole hoping for the stone . I think the stone got thrown from the ring years ago when it was lost and maybe hit by a mower .

Yeah Glen , that is a real possibility - I agree with your assessment that you have at least 20K there- the color is spot on !

Hail to the king of rings! awesome ring finds! Congrats!
Really nice old gold one, looks like it met with something hard, probably how it lost the stone.
Nice silver too, the boot is very detailed and neat looking.

Ditto! You should write a book on finding rings! Nice gold, but I have always been partial to silver for some reason
That boot is a great find!

I found a silver ring almost identical last year.. Also my largest. Thanks for the post

You know what? It looks like it was stepped on is why the stone fell out. Look again in the surrounding 6 inches or so. I'm wondering if it could be a big ruby stone or something that might not be too easy to spot. Anyway, amazing.
