Excellent hunt Mike. :clapping: Lots of nice silver, copper and nickel keepers.
BUT... the 3D Barber ring is a rare and awesome find. :smitten: Any chance we can get you
to post a few more pictures of it from different angles? I'd love to see some better pics of it.
Congrats.

Great hunt Mike. That ring is a pop up ring and was done by roadside (or fairgrounds) merchants. I think it was that you paid a fee and supplied the dime (of course) and he would make it right there for you (or most likely, your fine lady :yes:) I found one in a park many, many years ago. A great find. You are the only other person I know that has found one. :clapping:

Thank you for the additional pictures of the ring. I mentioned that I really liked it in your original post, and it well deserves its spot on the banner line. Congratulations on a fantastic find. Phil
