Sons first ring!

[hunts with son]

My 8 year old son and I made it out today after karate for a short hunt before the rain. We just got permission to hunt a house that is being remodeled slowly by the owner. The house dates to the late 1850's.

Since we had only 2 hours I decided to just randomly detect the yard. My sin decided on an area about 20'X20'. His very first signal with his F2 he found this ring about 5-6" deep. He was so excited. Them we brushed it off and could read the word sterling he about exploded!

The ring has some writing behind the word sterling we think says Kidd (something). And we are not sure if the stone is real or not. Any help with this would be appreciated. Thanks for looking!

Use the search feature at the top of this page. Type in kiddiegem and you will find several threads with pics of these rings...they were made between 1934 and 1955 and in one ad paper they were sold for 29 cents...they made several styles...the one your son found is a birthstone ring.

Nice ring find! But, the time spent with the son is the real treasure that will never lose its value.

All the best,

Lanny

It is awesome that your son shares your passion for the hobby! Mine is 16 now and has hunted with me since he was 6. I love every minute of it. Tell him I said CONGRATULATIONS on his great find!
