14 KT Ring Found and a Rosco.........and a wheatie

[awhitster]

I found the smashed up 14 KT ring in the picture. It broke trying to open it. It is pretty beat up. That's OK, at 4.6 grams it's $76 worth of gold. It hit, I looked down and it was laying right on top of the dirt. 5 minuets later I found the nitro ring. Avon, Rosco, Junk. The old brass tag is cool. Truman, Hooker & Co. were the manufacturers and dealers of agricultural implements, hay presses, baling presses, wagons, buggies, steam engines, threshing machines and hardware. Back in the late 1800's, early 1900's. I also found a few amusement park tokens, a 1936s wheat and an old shotgun shell. I like hunting around old houses. You seem to find a plethora of items.

Great ring (and I'm not talking about the Rosco either!)

Cool tokens too. An all-star day on my book.

Hey you might have hit someones underground vault. I really like that tag. If Id dug it it would already be in one of my display cases. Keep it coming.

Nice finds bro. I thought you were gone doing something else. I may need to look at your sched one more time.

AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH A ROSCO RING. A ring is a ring. Finders keepers...............

I swung my loop and heard the low tone and it locked on nickel. I looked down and it was laying right on top of the dirt. You can see it at the end of my screwdriver. I found the Rosco about 20 feet away. I thought I had a double gold day.

Bill[/quote]It's pretty scratched and beat up. Looks like initials in old English writing. An "A" and I can't make out the rest.

Gold is good, no matter what shape. Nice work.
