The injun is 1875 and found with the Minelab Muskateer Advantage detector with 5" coil. The ring was about 30 yards away and don't know how old it is of if the pearl is real. It has remnants of gold plating still on it.
It was a fun less than one hour hunt!

As I'm sure the digital screen won't help you when it comes to ID'g a pearl here's an easy way to do it. Obviously clean it up a bit first to get the dirt off - then take the pearl and rub it gently across the outside of your front teeth. If it feels smooth it is a fake pearl. A real pearl - either cultured or natural - will feel a bit gritty or slightly sandy rough. The only catch to this is whether or not the pearl is real - your teeth have to be real in order to test this way. Let me know !
Now of course - there is a downside - in testing a dug ring this way this way - you will certainly have to violate the 5 second rule......
( 5 second rule - A myth regarding fallen food. The five second rule is a popular North American old wives' tale. The rule states that foods -- particularly sweet foods like cookies -- that have fallen to the ground will not contract any germs until five seconds have passed. The rule provides a convenient rationale for eating food off the floor, and is usually invoked when a group of people are present. Thus, for example, a person might drop a jelly bean, pick it up quickly, tell his friends "it's within five seconds" and then eat the candy. It is usually safe to eat food from a relatively clean floor. However, the notion that germs from the floor will not reach food for at least five seconds is false. The five second rule is seldom invoked in the case of sticky foods, such as ice cream, to which dirt visibly clings. The origin of the five-second rule is unknown. )
