Congrats on your first silver ring! It took me forever to dig my first ,....just kept digging gold ones till I was sick of 'em.

Sledding hill? Playground? Open yard? Do tell man! Congrats!

Sledding hill? Playground? Open yard? Do tell man! Congrats!

Park where they have a fireworks display, and pee-wee football and such. Found two other rings there last fall (one stamped 14K, the other not) all on the other side of the temporary fence they put up for the firework display.

Sledding hills seem to be hit too hard - tried Swallow Cliff last weekend and some other MD'er told me he already hit it several times and had a little over $20

I tried a school yard last year I saw people sledding at - found under a dollar

BTW, the guy at swallow cliff said no jewelry, just coins so if anyone cares to try their luck, although the cops will most likely kick you off the actual hill. Either that try MD'ing it when the hill is open to sledding and manually dodge the sleds :P

Way to go bud!
It sure is a nice surprise when you flip the plug over and see a piece of jewelry when you're expecting a pulltab.
Keep 'em coming!

OZ, nice ring! Silver always looks so good when it's caked with dirt.

Take care,

The Ace will have silver rings show up as dime or quarter(for large ring). At least for the few that I have found. Not to worry as gold rings show up as pull tabs so I'll keep digging them up. Pull tabs that is

Besides the 3 larger stones, has three mini-me ones on the (right) side, same type.

No maker's mark - it does have an "A" stamped on it, but a single generic letter may mean ring size
