TimC and I hunted a vacant lot near the house today. I've been going past it for months. I told him that a house must have been there years ago... pointing at where I thought the basement must have been. It is now filled but stills shows the squarish depression. We started at the huge tree that would have been in the front yard. A little clad was found; no old coins. Then this ring. Not visible in this photo are two very small loops, one on each side of the stone (garnet?). They probably held a filament-type gold chain across the stone. I was not operating in my normal "first time at a site mode, coins". I was doing all metal. registered 6.5 on my GTA 500 i.d. But since it was a rock solid i.d. , I dug it. The ring MAY be only gold plate. I say this because my experience has been that solid gold easily cleans to a very bright glint, even at the site. It was hard to knock the dirt off on site. Pretty anyway. I'll go back. TTC
