I was trying out my new 5 3/4" coil on the vaquero in a trashy spot of a local park today. After pulling 2 junk rings and a bunch of can slaw, I got this. I intend to have it repaired!

That's a beauty, congrats!

Where at in the park? Pavilion, baseball field, off the sidewalk?

Thanks for sharing :occasion14:
 

About ten feet away from the basketball court.
 

I recognize that hand hahaha. Can't wait to see the video. We will talk about it this evening.
Great find.

Congratz on a beautiful ring!
 

Holy smokes! Your on a roll. Nice finds you've been making.
 

Congrats on the ring. I have found a lot of jewelry near basketball courts.
 

Cool ring find, congratulations :occasion14:!
 

Basketball courts are my favorite places in a park. Nice looking ring:icon_thumright:
 

The way the color is, in that photo, it looks like a ruby. I don't know how to tell the absolute difference, though. What makes you think its a garnet for sure?

Skippy

You are right, the jeweler said it is a ruby. Even better :)
 

Hey! I thought that was your ring. Looks real nice!
