Well not really 10k :BangHead: . When I dug it up at a local school it looked great in the plug ! It turned out to be marked 10K GOLD FILLED :laughing7: . It looks just like a class ring , very cool ! I believe it's from the late 1960's or early 70's . It's the first Scouting ring of any type that I have found in 16 + years :thumbsup: . The other ring I thought was silver , but it's just plated . They are numbers 79 & 80 for the year . The other good find was a 1958D wheat cent . The total clad found for two hours was $9.94 .

Ya know, I still find it kind of funny. That something from the 1960's could be considered vintage. ;) They are and I'm showing my age but still. LOL

A couple of very nice finds and I just bet they were fun to uncover. That first glimpse is soooo wonderful!

It was a +83 . When I saw the ring and it looked gold it made no sense to me . +83 would be silver . I guess it must have some copper & silver in it ?

Nice ring. I dug a gold filled wide wedding band and it came up as 74 on my MXT.
 
Hi Pla8man 8-) Nice digs there that GS ring is rather pretty :treasurechest: Wonder if it might be a collectible. Congrats on the nice finds, what is the coin like item with the foot prints?

that one would have got me too
Ive found and seen all kinds of silver girlscout and boy scout ones
never seen a gold one yet
 
That is a unique GS ring, even special! I found them on ebay, the 'stone' is glass but as I was involved with Girl Scouts as a troop co-leader I'd never seen one before. Great hunt you had.....................63bkpkr
 
that ring looks really nice and might have some value to a collector. congrats
