Thread: Biggest Silver Ring I Ever Found!

    Biggest Silver Ring I Ever Found!

    Hey Diggers,
    I got a permission at an old farm house today. So much iron to work around! I only got 1 wheat cent but it is a crisp 1919. A bunch of clad and the biggest ring I have ever found. This thing was only 2 inches deep and I actually thought it was going to be a smashed soda can! I thought my headphones were going to come right off my head! LOL. Thanks for looking and HH, Dave.

    Nice ring. I wonder what the stone is... The only dull green stones I can think of would be smithsonite or variscite..

    I think it is a variety of turquoise. The ring has a "southwest" look to it so that makes me think green turquoise.
