    A silver ring

    I had a short hunt Thursday at a church picnic grove that I had hunted in the past and found a few more goodies. 3 wheats, no date, 10 & 16. The find of the hunt was this nice .925 ring.

    That's a pretty sweet ring. I'd wear it, even. It almost looks like one of those coin rings, which I am thinking to buy sometime.

    Bye the bye, Pick Brothers was a well known business in West Bend. I believe they were the donors of the land that was turned in to Ridge Run Park. I do not believe any part of the original business is still around. I have found a few of their tokens as well over the years. WD
