Mom and Dad's yard comes through again. 1906 on the Indian. 1469996065262.jpg1469996080374.jpgThe copper is 1-7/16" (1.4375"), slick as can be. Maybe someone has an idea, coin or otherwise? 1469996097624.jpg1469996109568.jpgFinally... Dad's lost wedding band.1469996132854.jpg

That copper could be a button with the shank broken off. That green in the middle is a giveaway. That band is priceless.


The good news is that button type is old, almost certainly 18th century.
Congrats

Think you're dead on. Was so excited about Dad's ring, button never came to mind. Thanks.
 

I'm glad you found your fathers ring! Your other finds are cool too.
 

Congrats on the ring! that button should get you imagination going too like what else might be there.
 

Excellent job on those recoveries and especially returning that ring! How long had it been lost?

About 10 years. Mom and Dad are on vacation. Felt great delivering the news.

Actually dug that plug last week. Don't recall what I found. Rechecked today and the signal was good enough to try another dig. This button popped right out. Dug an 1864 2¢ piece 20' away 2 weeks ago.
 

Some people think what we do is a waste of time. I don't think your mom and dad are those kind of people.
Congrats on the recovery and return of the ring.
 

Sweet hunt and recovery! :occasion14:
 

Absolutely incredible- find of a lifetime is right!! Huge congrats on a great find!

Very nice. Congrats on your first IH, and finding your dads ring.
 

Finding and returning a wedding band to anyone is a thrill. But finding your Pappy's ring is incredible and will be a story to be passed down! Congrats, Sub 8-)
