Had to work on my car and do the yardwork today so no early hunt. After finishing my so-called chores I hit a close by school that was built in 1915. It's been hammered by me and many others over the years. Once I got there I saw yet again some uncut grass. Limited for time (leaving shortly for a week of training in Connecticut) I figured I would pick up some clad. Running high disc just dig to coins. I get a weird but repeatable signal and around 7" down I see a glimmer of silver. It turned out to be the ring with a greenish blueish stone in it with gold inlays on each side. It's marked 14K inlaid. Also a 1932 wheatie and some clad. Total hunt around an hour and 15 minutes. I weighed the ring on my digital scale I use for ebay and comes up 15 grams. Gonna go back once the grass is cut. Good luck out there.

Congratulations you certainly were not joking, that is certainly one huge looking honkin ring. Looks like one of the coins took a hard beatin eh?
