Thanks for the Honor. It is too bad I didn't know what I had when I first found it. ( I thought it was an odd wedding ring) Thanks Dan (del) for the info. I can't say that I did anything special to find it, other than just getting out there and detecting. I am very fortunate to live in an area that has so much history. Between this and my tree-coin, this year will be one to remember.
Thanks again, Dan
Congratulations on a great find and being this months winner.
A excellent choice indeed....

A big congratulations to you Dan. I just love that ring. It is so, so old.
Congratulations and a big "ravo Zulu (Navy/Marine talk) to you. That is a truly unique find and story.
I've traveled a long way, and many of the roads weren't paved.
Congrats on this award. That ring is truly amazing. I, for one, without reading the post about it would have never known that it was a mourning ring. Never to old to learn. Fantastic find.

Yes, congratulations on a really great find. I find historical items simply fascinating but this one just rises to top. It's a Super Bowl win, a World Series triumph. The only thing now is to go to Disney World.
