Ring Man Finally Broke The Ring Barrier..:clapping:

[Rosco Bookbinder]

Went out today and did some parks I haven't been to before. The usual stuff, playgrounds, lawn areas, around the basketball courts and such. In one of the playgrounds I had a nice ding ding on the low end of the silver range. PULLED OUT A RING!!!!! It's clean, it's rings like silver when you drop it, but has no markings at all on the inside. A RING IS A RING IS A RING!!!! Also found an RTD bus token from Colorado. That was fun too.....Found 52 coins for $2.09. Not much for the coin count but I FINALLY FOUND A RING!!!

Looks like everyone has scored a ring during the past couple of weeks.

No doubt. The weather is getting better, the detecting gods are in our favor and we will ALL find our pot of gold. Be it pennies or a ring it's worth the trip!!!

I know you been in a big slump but are you sure that's a ring. I mean, you know how kids put a washer of pipe ferrel and such on their fingers and call them a ring. That looks pretty iffy to me

Not a pipe ferrel for sure. Matter of fact I stopped by Bowans yesterday to talk to (can't remember his name) and he looked at it. Says it's a ring for sure but with no markings it's hard to tell what flavor it is. He tried it on one of his tectors and it hit in the 30 range. Not sure what that meant........And it's not a kids size. It's a good size ring for sure......

Bowans is a local detector store. Been in business for many many years. The current owner (very well known for his collection and knowledge) has owned it since 2000. John-Edmonton has tected with him.

Well done Rosco,
I know what it feels like.
Don't let your bro put you down, come to think of it I'm a bit fed up with the missus skunking me recently.
Hey, that's all gonna change soon.

BTW awhitster, he might not have such easy hunting places as yourself, at least give him a bit of encouragement.
We all have good days & bad days.
I'm going to be ahead of the missus when we go out next time, 'cause I'm grinding at beaches and sussing out the towel line. (yeeeeeeee haaaaaa)

I never beat up on him......much.....hehe
Hey, I've cleaned those parks. They need a few years to re-coin. I have to expand. I did today. Went on the south side where I have never been. I didn't find enough to buy a soda. I need to move back to Calif. Hey Bro, Got a room for rent????

The correct term is HALLMARKING. For the record, they started hallmarking silver in great Britain over 700 years ago

Looks like silver to me. There are a lot of titanium rings floating around out there. Don't know if they stamp them or not. They ain't cheap.
