Hi all ! So I have oficially found my second silver ring.

I was on a trip all weekend traveling across Texas with a friend. We went to a lot of Ghost Towns, but didn't get to metal detect much because we were running behind schedule and had to hurry to our camp to set up. The ground was really hard as well.

We stopped in WHON,TX - and found this abandoned falling down house. There were no signs saying DO NOT TRESPESS or any gates , so we went ahead and stopped and went inside.

Walking around the house there was a lot of junk left behind. I was looking around on the floor and found this ring. The ring was black and brown and you couldn't really tell what it was. I automatically thought it was not silver, but it turns out that it is, after cleaning it up !

Need help identifying the symbols on it. Took it to a jeweler and it was confirmed to be silver.

The bottom part of the ring has a 'diamond' makers mark on it....

Great find!! :icon_thumleft:

Can you get a clear picture of the maker's mark? Is it just a diamond symbol - can you make out a letter inside the diamond?
 
Nice ring!

My last post did not include the story about rattlesnakes in abandoned Texas Homes. Many years ago I had a First Sgt who wanted to go rattlesnake hunting and got what he wanted when he went into an abandoned house.

Be careful going into abandoned houses in an area where snakes are, especially in Texas.

Great ring find, just be careful out there.
