a few more finds from a short hunt at the cornfield

[Goes4ever]

my wife is taking an interst in detecting, and last night she wanted to find something old, and I did not have any houses lined up to hunt, we only had an hour and a half of light so I took her to the cornfield I have been hunting this last week.

She wanted an old coin real bad and I wanted her to find one, probably more than she wanted it. Anyhow, first find was a 1919 wheatie by me, this is the 4th 1919 I have found this year....lol

She then found the larger marble in the pic, then she got he spoon, it is marked Reed Barton. Next she got the old ladies costume ring, man is that thing gawdy or what, wow!!! But a cool find none the less. it is marked Nemco, She was happy, and I was happy for her. Last find I had was the small marble. So it was a fun short hunt. Only wish she had found an old coin. Maybe next trip!

it appears the ring she found is much more than costume jewelry. It was made in the 40's and 50's and a copy sells for 40 bucks
I believe this is the ring.

Nice ring. It is old costume jewelry. The one olriver linked is not a copy, it is a ring from the 40' or 50's. They were made of copper so they don't do to good in the dirt. Hopefully her next one will be gold or silver. Sounds like you have a good place to hunt.

Looks like a good evening of hunting.

That's what I always think about when I find relics.
