    Ring Spill

    I got one of those iffy hits this morning that sounded like I should investigate. The first thing out of the hole was what I thought was a metal spacer. Just in case I checked the hole again with the PP and got a signal. The second ring (gold color) told me I had a ring spill and not a spacer. Both rings are very small and not worth anything but the spill factor is kinda cool. They were about 4-5 inch deep.

    Probably toe rings. I found a lot of those and my wife said she thought they were toe rings. Makes some sense as I think they would be easier to lose than a finger ring. What ever digit they are from nice finds none the less. WD
