What a super day in the woods, not to mention very successful too. Lots of loot, rings and other finds. I polished up all the older finds.
What a surprise this beautiful snake ring turned out to be. I got a good signal, about 4-5 inches deep, but under a large root. It took about 15 minutes to tunnel under it and get it out of the ground. After cleaning and polishing it, it turned out to be a very interesting ring. Looks like it was gold plated at one time.
And go figure.....not more then 20 feet from the first ring, out pops this ugly punk or goth ring. I would normally expect that point to be tucked under the ring, but in this case, it was above, and came to a sharp tip. I would not like to be the one who gets punched in the face from someone wearing that ring.
Buried near a tree, out pops this mouth piece to a trumpet or other musical instrument. I was hoping to find a make, patent or numbers on it to try and date it, but there weren't any.
Nice round brass ball, probably from a bed post, as it is too small to be a door knob, and it had a nail sticking out on the opposite end.
Too funny......finding a MacDonald's ashtray in the woods. But there it was, a couple of inches from the surface. Smoking has been banned from McDonald's for many years. This sure is a good conversation piece.
Gotta love those wood hunts. Those who regularly hunt the woods know what I am talking about.
