My hunting buddy doesn't post so I'm posting a VERY unusual find he made yesterday. It's a 1937 class ring that must have been lost when almost new because it has no wear.
The unusual part is that a tree root grew right through it! ( The root & tree were dead.)
He found it in a large woods that border an older park.
Enjoy! :thumbsup:

Cool find! I'd take lots of pics of something like that.

Does he plan to try and find the owner?

That is a very unusual find....looks like someone's finger was cut off...Strange but fantastic. Yes take a lot of photo's for I doubt will find another one like that.

That is cool! Ive never seen a ring that grew its own finger. I would leave it just the way it is :tongue3:
 

Now that is very cool! I seen where a guy found one that a carrot had grown through a wedding band.

Grip....If there are initials, they must be inside the band.....and he's definately NOT going destroy it to remove it from the root. The owner would have to be 90....so doubt they are alive.
Thax for the nice comment! :)

Now that is just way cool. Tell your freind congrats on a very unusual find.
 

I am not sure How Handy you are with wood? But IF it were me I would let the wood dry and then carve a finger out of the root.
IF your not that skilled. Try and find someone that is a carver and I am sure he will have a blast doing it!
Good Luck.
PS Nice find!
 

Awesome find! That's the beauty of this hobby....you just never know what going to be in your next hole!
 

Wow! That is really some unique find!
If it were mine, I would definitely carve a finger out of that root.
It would be one crazy piece of art.
