Some June and early July finds

Kevin in IN · Jul 16, 2012

Hi all. Been getting some time in the water. This drought has the local lakes at levels I've never seen before. So a friend and I have been hunting water that would normally be out of reach. The two large bands are 14k. The Clemson ACC ring I may be able to find the owner. Has her jersey number on it. The one is a 1917 HS ring. The school name is rubbed smooth, I guess from so many years on the lake bottom. Rest of the gold is 10k. The tall silver ring is marked sterling , NY,CC. , I dug it in two pieces. It was hinged and has a compartment looks like it was made for a pill. Thanks for looking. Kevin

Nice finds there I don't do any water detecting so I'm waiting out the drought, congrats on the great finds. HH

Thanks wing. I'm 52 and never seen it like this. People were pulling boats out this weekend. The water is so low its beaching them. Sad thing is we'll all pay more for just about everything at the grocery store.

Are you hunting the now exposed old town of Monument City in Huntington or elsewhere?

Great finds Kevin.

We got down to Kosciusko County a couple of weeks ago and did some water hunting where the boaters anchor and swim. Didn't find much there and I know they've been using that spot for as long as I can remember. We didn't even dig much on the beer tabs or caps. Slim pickin's there.

Your Hinged top ring looks like this one Gypsy Goth Poison snuff ring ornate pewter heavy by GemParlor and I was thinking Suff Ring when I read your post. Sure looks like the one in the link.

Wow, a lot of really nice finds!

Thanks for the link DJ. Does bear some resemblance. The one I found is stamped sterling. Maybe it was used for snuff. Not much else but a pill would fit. HH Kevin
