I went to an old school house in a very small community about 40 miles west of my home this morning about daylight. It was an old fashioned school I'm guessing it was built in the 1920s? It had a large bell out front like all schools use to have long ago. I spent about an hour and a half just going over the front of the school property mostly at random. I found some clad as usual, part of a toy car, an icecream token and a smalll silver fillagree ring. The token was along a sidewalk about two inches deep and showed up as a quarter on my ACE 250. It appears to be made of brass or copper and is about the size of a quarter the front is inscribed Flavor Burst, Redeem at a participating store. On the back is an icecream cone. I never heard of Flavor Burst icecream and have no idea where a participating store might be! I also have no idea how old it is, but it cleaned up really nice with a little Kaboom and a bristle brush. The ring was at 4" beneath an old cedar tree and it showed up on my lcd as a dime. It had multiple auditory tones as opposed to the usual back and forth two tones so I suspected it was something other than a dime. It has a black onyx looking stone in the center and yellew glass chips all around that gave it a strange sheen in the sun. I suppose the chips are glass, but they could be diamond chips? And the usual 925 was stamped inside the band. Anyway, I had a pretty successful morning and it made the drive worthwhile.

Congrats on the ring and the token,very nice. Flavor Burst ice cream is a soft serve ice cream,similar to the consistency of Dairy Queen. Then they have different flavors in seperate hoses in the machine that mix the flavor into the soft serve in a swirl pattern. It's very good, I've had it before at our local auto show. I don't know any stores that sell it; I've basically seen these stands at fairs,and local events.
 
The ring doesn't look all that small to me. Very nice finds!! WTG!!! HH
 
Congrats on the nice finds! HH, Mike
 
i think the car is the monkees car from the tv show
