Ok so i use to live in Lansford, Pa., for a short time and the place i lived at had a old driveway leading to a small barn. This was a dirt driveway. One day I wanted to go fishing and due to a lack of places to hunt for worms I started to dig in the driveway. Well i got to about 6 inches down when I struck something. It was a beautiful piece Pennsylvania blue flagstone. The piece was 4ft long by almost 2ft wide. So digging next to it i found nothing. I went over to where the one tire would have went consistently and dug there. Sure enough there was another beautiful flagstone. What i had uncovered was a old flagstone driveway that had been buried through the years. I dug this whole thing up and leveled out the center section to remake the driveway back to the way it was. It turned out beautiful. In the process I had tossed a load of dirt in the wheel barrel and right on top laid this ring. A little history on Lansford, PA is that it is the oldest coal mining town in the US and has a early settlement date. My question is this, This ring was found lower then the slate level. The house I Lived in was from the 1800's is it possible this ring is that old. What type of ring is it and what is in the center. It looks like enamel or something like that maybe it is a rough stone. So since i stumbled onto this ring again after being missing for 10yrs I figured I'd post it..................................GTP
