Ruptured Duck

[deershed]

The kid gets credit for this one. lol Our first hunt of the year when I found the bangled bracelet, the kid found this Awesome silver ring with the 10k gold Eagle.
WW2 honorable discharge ring. The image of the Eagle was poorly done so the soldiers started calling it a "ruptured duck".
He also got a IH, tag, and a brass Junior Fire Marshall ring.
