    Beautiful assortment of finds Is that ring silver or white gold? Almost looks like a star sapphire in it? If you could only go back in time when them coins were dropped
    Finding relics is in my blood

    Thanks everyone. The ring was Sterling. I also found a gold ring and another silver ring with Black Hills Gold in the ring. We made a haul out of that street, I look for black top and black dirt to be put on the street and boulevard. We just wait until the next tear out.

    Nice going. Street tear outs are great, but don't overlook old parking lot tear outs. I pulled 2 LC's and a 2 reale out of one last year. Way to go!

    We don't have parking lot tear outs in our area. We have street and sidewalk tear outs all summer long. We are busy keeping up with these that we don't have time to detect anything else until the construction season is done. Then we hit school, parks, fair grounds, and woods.
