Got out for the first time this season, and took advantage of the wet ground and short grass to pull a personal best 7 silvers in one day. Also pulled an 1834 half cent (it looks better in my hand than in the picture, but not much better lol) , 20 wheaties, and a small silver ring with a blue stone. Thanks for looking, and hopefully, it is thawed out where you live.

It just felt good to get out, after two months of staring at SNOW :mad:. A good hunt is just icing on the cake.

Nice half cent Randy <: The ring is cool too. Can't figure out a guess on the stone though. I know they made some class rings with CZ's kinda like that. If it's a real stone, maybe Tanzanite, but a jeweler could tell you right away. Great finds and boat loads of silver lol

Public land.



That ring...it screams 1800's! I wonder what the stone is??


It was pretty deep, but it is stamped STERLING, which IIRC means it is after 1925 or so?
