Fresh hunting grounds giving up the jewelry!

[JdsCoins]

Been a long time since my last post or topic! Haven't done much quality hunting over the last month. I just moved almost 2 hours away from where I lived since Feb. this year, so I have a lot of fresh, public hunting grounds to check out! :grin:

Started the day with a 20 minute drive outside the city to a school that was built in 1913, then burned down in 1937, then built again, then burned down in 1950. (Gee, can't this place catch a break? :shocked01 Then rebuilt shortly thereafter, and is used as a high school today.

In about 2 hours I found around $2 in clad, the religious medallion (Indonesian sterling) and the 2 wheat pennies (1934 and 1950-D)

Then later in the evening I tried a school only minutes from my house, didn't look up the age of the school yet (not too old) but there's some older homes around it.

In about another 2 hours I managed the shark, the 2 silver rings and about a buck in clad. The snake ring had me excited, I've seen others dig them but never thought I would! happydance02

Don't know too much about gemstones. The one on the first ring has a purple hue to it.

Videos are uploaded to my YT channel. Happy Hunting!

Nice finds and love the snake ring. Stone is probably an Amethyst but could be many other stones like a Garnet, Spinel, or purple Sapphire.

Thanks guys!
A gem guy told me It's a low grade Amethyst. I didn't expect it to be high quality. But other than turquoise I think It's the first gemstone I've found in a ring. I'm the guy that always finds the rings with the stones & diamonds missing. Or they're fake. rofl

OK, wait, that's not funny! >:/
