Out on a gorgeous day to be alive

[CTTodd]

Got out with a couple friends today to multiple sites that all gave a little. I hunted the Deus and the Equinox just because. No other reason. Tons of buttons, shoe buckle frag, sleigh bell, Smoothie KGII, suspender parts and a gold ring that I think is 1700s early 1800s from the font and high carrot and the site it was found on. Was fun on a beautiful Sunday. Get out there

The ring is in fact a Colonial Gold Ring!
Proof was in the makers mark.

Such a wonderful piece of history. ...and a crotal bell to boot! :yahoo:

Great day of detecting. Congrats on saving that gold ring....:thumbsup02:

HUGE congrats on the colonial gold ring, Todd! That is a spectacular find! Is it a Claddagh ring? Looks similar.

:perfect10:

[CTTodd]

That appears to be the type of ring

Incredible find Todd the colonial Posey ring was made by a well known New York silversmith and no doubt for someone very wealthy and prominent , Agent Yerks , your mission if you choose to do so is to find out who this ring was commissioned for .

Seriously Todd , finds like this are what its really about . It doesn't get much better than that , congrats and don't sell unless you know everything about it first.

Great find! Yeah it would be cool to try and get some info on that piece of history.

[Full Metal Digger]

Find of the Year!! Congrats 100 times!

[CTTodd]

Sell? No worries there Dan. I’m one of those guys that has almost everything that I have ever found.
that includes CLAD.
The ring stays with me until no more me. Proud to have it.

I know of a gold morning ring that sold at auction from a couple hundred thousand dollars but the finder didn't get that amount because he didn't do enough research on it

Be sure to let your family know what it is. The last thing you would like is to have your kids sell it for peanuts.

[calabash digger]

Very nice!

[badgers325]

Awesome find! If Dan is right and you sell the coin for 100s of thousands of dollars, American Detectorist party in NW CT!!! Congrats. To me, that is no doubt a find of a lifetime!

[Digger Don]

Wow, what an amazing find. The ring is Beautiful!!!!:congrats: :thumbsup02:

[Donnie B]

That gold ring is a dream find for a colonial metal detectorist. I see it already has its rightful place in the banner. Just simply an amazing find. That is certainly a Find of a Lifetime. Congrats!:perfect10:

[calabash digger]

Man I missed this one! Great find!!! I have one like it but it is not gold...

[OxShoeDrew]

Man I missed this one! Great find!!! I have one like it but it is not gold...You actually didn't miss this one. :lol:

[Ill Digger]

Yeah, I'm late to the party too. But this find deserves some recognition!
Stunner of a find Todd! I bet that was the last thing you were suspecting to pop out of the plug at a cellar hole huh! Thats what makes thus hobby so much fun!
Congrats man! :thumbsup02:

[CTTodd]

Thanks Guys,
There are a lot of places to post finds and I did But there is a difference in the level of knowledge here. Other places the responses were nice find or a thumbs up which would be about right for a small gold ring But at least on this forum people understand the provedonce that the makers mark brings to this piece.
The ring will be in the next issue of American Digger with a full find story. Get out there

[The Rebel]

That's an amazing find Todd. Too bad it can't talk and tell it's story. What do the marks mean?

[Donnie B]

Thanks Guys,

The ring will be in the next issue of American Digger with a full find story. Get out there

GREAT story in American Digger. I really enjoyed reading it and the photos were great too.

[OxShoeDrew]

I'm not a subscriber but I saw the cover and your ring is center stage!!! :yahoo:

[Moosapalooza]

Just seen this post. Now that......is an incredible find. I'd wear it too. So cool

Every time I dig at a colonial cellar hole now I remember this find. I'm hoping to find one of these rings someday. It's such an awesome find.
