Limestone and more limestone. The mud it forms its almost like concrete... almost.
In about 40-50 hours of my time I have found 15 rings in a park, digging in areas most detectorists would look at and turn around and head to the playground.
How?
With a big flat head screwdriver. You have to use the screwdriver like a jackhammer...As you're pushing down vibrate the screwdriver very fast with your hand. It will drive it down between all the small rocks, then crank it to the side and it will pop out a plug.
Where?
This does not work in grassy areas, only areas of thick stones and mud mixed together like in dried out swimming holes here in Texas.
Places where I hunt will destroy any shovel. The only way to get at these treasures is with a big screwdriver. Once you get the technique of how to vibrate the screwdriver down between the rocks it's a snap.
