    OLD STATE OF WISCONSIN RING "DEEP"

    This ring was at least a foot deep! I was using an excal 800 in a high trash area in about three ft of water. This is the second one I found, I found one a couple years ago. Does anyone know anything about these rings? Were they a state fair thing? Job related? College? Thanks for looking.
