Silver and Gold!!

[kleinerschmitter]

Hello everyone,

I hunted the curb strips near the hospital I work at and found quite a bit in only an hour. I found five wheat pennies the oldest of which was 1920 and the other four were common 1940s and 1950s dates. Found an old marble and an old thimble that was so tiny it won’t even fit on my pinky. I got a repeatable 18–19 signal that ended up being a 1977 French 5 centimes. Near the curb I got a solid locked on 10-48 Which got me thinking maybe another silver half dollar. I was surprised when a large silver ring popped out what surprised me even more is when I went to check for hallmarks I saw the glint of another ring inside of it. They were actually stuck together and took me quite a long time to separate them! The ring inside ended up being a 10 karat gold ring with 13 small diamond chips and weighs 2.7 g while the silver ring weighs a little over 7 g!! I also picked up at 1948 silver dime as well!

Nesting rings, huh? Maybe you should have let them sit in the sunlight to propagate some more?

Nice, very strange about those rings

Awesome hunt that silver ring looks pretty old ....

The silver ring may or may not be old, it’s stamped 925 on the inside but the solder point looks crude, almost like it may have been handmade. The gold ring is stamped 10k and also has a makers mark and acid tested good at 10k as well but it appears newer and not old, they were only 1-2” down although here that doesn’t mean much bc the ground is so rocky.

Sweet! I have never seen the double ring save, seems the most efficient way to find rings

Amazing Ring Combo... I wonder what the story is behind them? Did they tuck themselves in at night spoooning or something?
