Found this old ring yesterday at a site that has been hunted out....It has a cone shaped setting that must have been gauty in the day....May have to post it in the "What Is It" forum to get a date era....As luck would have it I didn't have my camera with me at the time. At first I didn't think it was anything of value but I am learning to "dig everything" and am glad I did! I haven't cleaned it because I wanted everybody to see the dirt just in case it made banner......I cant explain the RUSH I got when this baby came out of the clod!

oh crap, you mean that is a ring, when I used to dig them, I'd just throw them away....now I'm embarrassed. :D

I really like this style of ring.....(confidentially, I have found a few of these myself.)
The reason I like them: when you want to take it off, it has a handle that you just grab and pull......great invention.

OMG mbryan, you are soooooooooooooo behind on the times :icon_farao: Haven't you heard? Poptops & pulltabs are all the rage nowadays, sugar puff :thumbsup: Just look at what this debonair fellow did with HIS pulltabs...

Im such an idiot, and all these years Ive been throwing them away. I have luck on my side though since Im lucky enough to find those everytime I hunt. Boy am I going to be rich! Thanks for opening my eyes up to this being a ring! :o
 

One man's trash is another man's treasure. Congratulations. :icon_sunny:

have you tried to track down the owner? there may be a reward......$$$$ ;D
No I havent.....but I would sell it...lol
 

Uh... why doesn’t one of us create and market pull-tabs cast in 925... or sterling... ( 220... 221, whatever it takes...) give some of us out here something to get excited about once in a while.

Just a thought.

Those would make great necklaces, I would wear a silver pulltab.
 

i wonder what MD he's using to be finding all those beautiful rings in his hair.
 

This is obviously a CW era find. I know I have seen a pic somewhere of President Lincoln presenting what must be a ring from the same maker to Mary Todd after he finished writing the Emancipation Proclamation. It might even be the same one! I'd insure it for at least $250,000 if I were you.
 

WOW! Impressive find! I would get that checked out! I think its the real deal!!! :headbang:
