Nice, congrats!

The one on the right is copper and the one on the left is sterling. That silver ring must have been in the ground for 30 years the layer of tarnish is measurable it looks like paint.

Your sure are finding a lot of nice Rings - congrats !

I'm not a Jewelry hunter but for some reason - Rings seem to find me.
Got this Ring box on the internet a few years ago.
This is a old photo - the box is full now.
Holds (100) Rings - has a glass cover on hinges - only around $25.00 shipped.

Good Hunting !

they must use chemical fertilizers where you're digging. I can't think of any other reason why silver would do that

It's in limestone. You should see what it does to zinc pennies, even worse than at the beach. Some pennies are a 1/4 inch thick when I find them.

Really old silvers get a horn crust on them. Because of age, mineralized soils.

The OP stated 40 yrs, I would guess let's double that or more.
Unless the area he's detecting only was developed 40 yrs ago.

Any ring is a good find, a 2 ring find don't happen ever day!

Yea the first house in the area was in 1955. When they built the dam it flooded the lake up into the area creating lakefront property out here. Nobody but native Americans were out here prior.

I was getting about a ring per day and had two 2 ring days in the past 2 weeks, but now I have gone 2 days with no rings.
