I went out for a few hours to a couple local parks with Ralph and found a silver ring and more.

The first park we hunted produced some clad and a deep dig near an old tree to what we both thought was going to be a cache box. It had the feel of a metal and wood box down about 8 inches and under a root from the old tree. We were having a difficult time digging it out and I decided to head back to the car for a bigger shovel, when I returned Ralph had gotten it out and it was just a large piece of metal which fooled us both.

After the frustrating dig we decided to hit another local park, one of my first targets turned up a silver ring with a budha on it, it does not look very old nut it is silver and interesting.

Along with the ring I found what looks like a piece of a boy scout jewelry but I am not sure.

The total clad count was $2.95 including 2 Wheaties 1948-D & 1949 and 1942 War Nickel.

That is a Girl Scout piece. You have it pictured upside down. I may be for Brownies, which is the younger group. Great finds!

Thanks for the info
 
Delightful fat Buddha ring! Sixty years ago I wore same type Brownie pin when I was in Brownie Scouts --- the brownie is a woods sprite or elf.

What I think is AWESOME is your avatar, which I just zoomed larger to 400% to see better --- if I'd dug that, I woulda hollered with joy! HH Andi

I guess I am officially a Brownie now.

As for the Avatar, I found it a few years back when I re-introducing myself to MDing which I had left for about 25 years after having children which took up all of my time. I found it in back of a closed church with an Ace 250.

Nice finds, as always. Are you sure the ring is silver? It looks like silver plated to me.

It could be plated but looks like silver to me just very thin and not much weight.
