Couldn't sleep, so when the sun came out, I hit the local elementary school.
Ended up with ring number 3 for me! Possibly silver(Non magnetic, rung up where a silver dime would on the Ace 250) Tho no markings.
Update: I tested it with a drop of bleach and it tarnished, so I'm going to say...

After yesterdays rain , it was time to break the no detecting drought! Got some clad and then got a pegged signal on the conductivity scale that was pretty loud in the headsets! It turned out to be a 925 Ring ! The hunt got interrupted by more rain, still rain is good! I will hunt more tomorrow...
Got out for some hunting yesterday and put some time in the water for awhile. Not a lot of finds there and decided to get back to the dirt for a bit. Wound up hitting this 10K ring with diamond chip at around 6". Ring was confirmed by jeweler. Thanks for looking and HH!
About ten steps from where I parked the transport I noted some interesting Nickel like signal and dug, after prying with the screwdriver a bit a yellow metaled ring popped out of the soil in situ. Bagged it up and kept going, thinking plated ring probably. Next near Nickel Signal was a Pull-Tab...
Found my first silver ring! quite exciting for me, I found it under a tree in a park that my brother had already checked with his AT pro. So lesson of the day dig up all targets, you never know what it might be! about the ring, it says "antiko 800" and is a hildesheimer rose I think the 800...
After getting home Friday evening from Mexico, I was pumped and headed out for an early Saturday morning hunt. using my new 5x10 SEF Coil (which I LOVE!)I was getting good crisp deep signals all morning. my first find of the day was an awesome Sterling Silver Military SharpShooters Award Badge...

All told I found 5 Rings, 3 Gold & 2 Junkers.... But, my best find was some woman I've...
Got my first detector about a week ago. First day I used it I ended up finding an old silver ring in my backyard. I didn't even think I was silver until it polished right up!
Both of these rings were found this weekend at two different schools. The ring with the purple stone was found by my ten year old sister who got extremely lucky:icon_thumleft:. She does not use the metal detector very often. The ring with the yellowish color stone was found by me only about 1"...
Attached are images of a Roman ring I recently acquired at an artifact show. Upon looking at it further, in my opinion it appears to be a seal ring. My first question, is it a seal ring? If so, can anyone identify what the seal may represent?
Secondly, I'm estimating the ring be from the second...
Ring Maker's Mark
I'm trying to identify a ring I just received as a gift... sterling silver, has a 925 on one side of the inside and an unidentified monogram on the other. It has cable like bands, and I'm not sure what kind of black stone with diamonds set around it. Also guesses of possible...
I found a ring and I was curious to find out about it. It has 3 marks on the inside, '918' 'RD' and i cant identify the last one but it looks like a 'CF' or something like that. I know that the '918' is what carat it is and the 'RD' is rhodium. I believe it is middle eastern because of the...
Just got back from vacation in Mexico. After leisurely hunt, $25 in coins (they use and lose a lot of 10-pesos coins there, roughly $1 each), a set of hoop earrings (amazingly, found both earrings in the water, within one foot of each other), an old toy soldier (gave it to the local), and my...
Looking for advice finding a lost ring in a very thick 6'x15' bamboo forest
I bought my girlfriend a ring for her birthday a few months back and that same night, as she was showing it to someone on a balcony, she dropped it straight down into a very dense bamboo garden below. We searched with...
I'll combine the past two days to keep from overloading the board. Yesterday, I hit one of the elementary schools close by and dug a little over $3 in clad. About 15 minutes from calling it a day, I realized I had the sensitivity on my AT Pro down to a half from the night before searching the...

Found this nice 9k cameo ring this evening, assayed in Birmingham but cant seem to find a date letter identical to the one on the ring. It is a small 'b' in a square with cut corners. I have included a picture of a drawing I did of the date letter as my camera wont focus in on the hallmark...
Today while detecting an old field in MA I found a nice gold ring. I could use some help dating it or identifying its origin. The ring is smaller and probably a womans. On the inside there is a marking that appears to be the number 18 within a shield. I assume the 18 is the carat but would like...

It was just in the surface and it had another smaller ring inside (Haven't been able to identify the metal of the other ring yet). One of the stamps says 14K, so...

Found GOLD ring w/ name, Facebook's roadblocks!
I found this 10k female high school ring at the beach. After quickly locating and messaging the person on facebook, I find out that all messages that are not from friends go into a seperate inbox called "Other". I suspect that the good majority of...
Dug this up in my parents backyard in central, NJ last weekend....I know it's a Boy Scouts ring that said "Be Prepared" on the front. Any idea what year this exact ring is from? I'd love to read up on the history behind it.....Thanks.

Here finally are some closeups of the 9 gram silver ring I found. It's so big it's loose on my middle finger.
Biggest silver ring I've found. Thanks Etrac!
Out and about today brought me to an old playground where I almost mistook this dainty little ring for trash as the signal it produced was choppy. A glass stone adorns this STERLING marked ring. It made my quick hunt worth while.
Hello all, I decided to do a beach hunt this past Saturday so I headed to Stewart beach early and arrived there at about 6:am. I was using my Explorer SE and was only finding clad. At about 8:am I looked up and there was literally about 15 other people detecting, young and old. It was obvious...

Today I went back to my family farm which has about 1900 acres to one of the largest cellar holes on it. I have been told that at this particular foundation, the British during the Revolutionary War, locked relatives of my family in the house and burnt it down. I found this item today in the...
Hey everyone. The year started off a bit late for me because the weather took forever to turn! I've been hitting the parks and I found 2 14k items at one park! The pendant/chain is weird though... it seems far more corroded than any gold item I've ever seen. when I accidentally scratched it...

I got this wading in the water at the beach. It isn't much of a ring, but I guess it counts. The sight of that stone sparkling in the scoop still makes my heart skip a beat!
I just found my first marked gold ring. Of course with my luck it was also the Smallest Ring Ever Made LOL!!! Found it off the beach in the freezing water. It's too bad its so tiny, but I am still happy to have found it.
My Finds Today Pretty exited
I didn't think I would find much and all I was digging up was trash and square nails. I went over to this huge oak tree and found a metal button which i simply threw since it was modern. Then I get a Strong hit in the same hole. I Pull out a Sterling Silver ring(My...
