This is why I should never pass up another shallow pulltab. It rung up as a 39 and was 1.5" down. I thought for sure pulltab but I have been trying to dig all of them. And after my last gopher mound find I thought I better dig everything that repeats here until there in not a target left.
The ring came out of the ground looking like copper that had patina over it. I thought it was a kids ring until I cleaned it and saw that it had been sized. It is a mans sized ring.
It was almost black in color. I acid tested it and my 10k acid eats it. It is really old gold probably more like 7k. The ranch has been here since 1886 in the same families hands and before that it was a Civil war soldiers. I gave it to the land owners just 30 minutes ago and they where very happy, they kept saying how I found it on Valentines day. I wanted to keep it but I had to give it to them, It was the right thing to do. It may have been the 79 year old woman's fathers ring or perhaps even his father.
