The corn field gives up some gold.

Greetings friends,
I found the ring yesterday at an 1880s site, not far from an Indian head penny.
It is about a size 4 1/2----She must have been a tiny thing.
As soon as my wife saw it she claimed it for a pinky ring.
The rest are field finds from the last couple of weeks.
Thanks for looking and best luck to all. :thumbsup:

Hey Merf,

I see you're still making your usual great finds in those fields. :thumbsup:

Congrats on your 18K ring find too!!

I found a clay colored marble just like yours when I dug a wheatie out of the ground a couple of weeks ago. It was in the wheatie plug.

Hello,

That is a ring you will want to have tested. Back then it was a very common wedding band to have a brass band with 18k plate. They would still mark them 18k. My hunting partner and some people on Treasurenet here have found that same band. With a 18k mark but it was all brass or copper. No gold at all it all rubbed off, maybe someone can find the post. People did not have money back then and it was hard to pay for real gold. Cool find regardless...

Keep @ it and HH!!

Great looking ring and 18K to boot! Awsome looking relics you have there, too!

Great finds!!! I seem to think that ladies were smaller and had smaller fingers. Every older ring I have found was small.

amish women tend to be smaller, it is a lack of vitamins in their diet. most only eat what they grow and miss out on needed vitamins. most old timers from history were smaller for much the same reason. very nice finds by the way.
