Last week, fellow forum member uscgdavis and I hit up a permission in the city that we’d been itching to get at for a couple weeks. Well, that resulted in a BEAUTIFUL sterling silver crucifix and key date wheat cent (1914S) for uscgdavis and some wheats and keys for myself. Pretty decent site!

As we were leaving the property, a neighbor came out and asked us if we would detect his yard next door sometime. Of course, we happily agreed.

Fast forward a week, and we headed out there ready to kick up some dirt, and right away I hit a ‘52 canadian copper. Love those old Canadians. The house ended up not giving a ton of unique items to me, although uscgdavis pulled out a couple goodies and old toys.

Once we finished up the property, we moved on to some sidewalks nearby and started swinging. Well, not two minutes into the sidewalk strips, and I get a sharp and shallow 91/92 on the AT Pro. Hmmm, most of those turn out to be sprinkler heads, but this one sounded clean...

I called uscgdavis over and told him I might have a half or something larger, and we both about flipped out when this MASSIVE silver ring popped out about two inches down.

It’s heavy, and it’s 925 :) ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1570312426.186210.jpg

All in all, a fun day out swingin’!

Whoever wore this must have had giant hands, since this ring only fits on my pointer finger! ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1570312596.960514.jpg

Dag that is a monster Silver Ring! Maybe one of the biggest 925s I've seen.

Great find I think larger people have to pay more for rings cause they usually have to be custom made I bet you could polish it up and sell it on eBay and make much more than the scrap value if you were going to sell it. I stack all my silver. Well done Tommy
