What a day! A gold ring (with date!), a 1914 Barber Dime, a 1905 liberty nickel, a 1917 wheatie and some relics...

Hi All,

I had a couple of hours to detect after work today so I returned to the site where I found the 1837 (pre-Canada) deux sous token a couple of weeks ago. I'm glad I did! A gold ring popped out of the second hole I dug and after cleaning it I could see it had the initials "RS" on the front and 2 engravings along the inner band. The first (I believe) engraving is etched with "BDA 10k" (or possibly 18k?). The other engraving I can clearly read the date, "Feb.23,1926" but I can't make out the 3 letters right before the date. Could it be "MAR" as an abbreviation for "married"? So essentially married on February 23, 1926? What do you think?

Later in my hunt, I found a 1914 Barber dime, a 1905 liberty nickel, and a 1917 wheatie. The nickel and wheatie are pretty toasted and I was barely able to see the dates after some mild cleaning. I also pulled (what I believe to be) an old, dilapidated BB gun out of the ground and an aluminum tag for a company called "Frantz Overhead Doors and Hardware" out of Sterling, IL.

I look forward to getting back to this site soon!
