Did a little recon work this afternoon to check out a new hunting spot that only dates to the 30's-40's but I thought it had great potential for silver coins as well as jewelry due to it's purpose.

I spent a couple of hours checking it out, and at one point a park ranger came over to me. I though oh oh, I'm probably getting booted :nono: He asked me if I had my detecting permit, and I showed it to him. Not only was he fine with me being there, but he turned out to be really nice guy and a fountain of great information telling me about the history of the park, places that have been changed, and about all kinds of old spots that haven't been used in decades, but are still accessible to the public. Wow that's a first :clapping:

So I continued detecting the site and did find a few 1940's wheats, tons of clad and then came a super nice sounding signal, albeit an odd TID. Heck I dig lots of junk though, if it sounds good, I go for it, and sometimes it pays off. Well this was one of those times :beers:

About five inches down I pulled out a trio of interconnected rings :yikes: By this time it was dark and all I could see was the gleam of gold and silver, I could tell they weren't junkers, but I couldn't see them well enough to look for marks (heck I can't see well enough to see marks in the middle of the day half the time :geek:

When I got home I louped them and oddly there's no marks on the yellow gold rings, but the silver ring is marked .925. I did an acid test on the gold rings and both tested good for 14K :super: Odd the lowly silver ring would be marked, but not the gold rings :shrug:

Without further adieu:

Thanks for looking & HH,

That is a real nice ring OR, those are real nice rings. Do they come apart? How do women wear those? I have seen pictures of them before, but I don't know how they work.

Anyway I hope you listened to the Ranger, especially about the area of the park that hasn't been used in decades!!!!! Alot of Barbers were still being used in the 30's. You may have fallen into a real good one there.

Take care, Dave
 
I second the thought of going back to the old parts of the park. Nice to have a helpful ranger.

I'm definitely planning to hit the oldest parts of the park. The ranger was nice enough to turn me onto a map of all the old original (now defunct) camps....it doesn't get any better then that :thumbup:

I found out what my ring trio is:

A traditional 19th Century Russian wedding ring is the three interlocking bands of the tri-color rose, yellow and white gold.
Russian ring is worn on the right hand in accordance with Russian tradition, that symbolizes the couple's eternal union in strength, spirit and love.

Pretty neat find, I'm planning to go back and find some more in a few :devil:

HH,
Brian

Hey Brian, what area are you in where you would need to have a detecting permit?
Great find!

A lot of parks in NorCal require permits. At least they let you detect them, as they could easily just say no like so many parks and beaches up here :ranting:
