I went to the same old school where I found Silver coins #2 and #3 on Sunday today after work. I was out there getting bit up pretty bad by bugs so i stopped and put on some spray. First dug target when i got back was a marked 14 K Gold Ring. It looks like it has a real diamond in it but I'm not 100% sure. Looks older for sure maybe 1940's 50's. Other than that I found some clad, a little plastic eagle, a weird lead thing, a key, and a broach/hair clip that is interesting. Safe to say I found a nice spot and i will hit it again this weekend. Y'all have a nice hump day!

That's a nice big old ring

Congrats
 

Does anyone know a good way to get it appraised?
 

Congrats on your first gold!!! :occasion14: I see you broke the ice early, hoping you dig many more in 2016.
 

You can try a jeweler or pawn shop, but most rings are only worth the melt value of the gold unless they have huge diamonds or some kind of special or historical significance. I would bet the stone in your ring is a diamond, but small ones have little value.
 

Congratulations on your first gold ring! :occasion14:
