One ugly ring, 7 dollar coins

[Listener]

Been killing the clad this week at the parks, found 2 cheap rings one kinda Gothic. Found two poker spills that had 3 dollar coins in each.
Thanks for looking.

Did you have a heart attack when the gold ring popped out of the dirt ??? Looks like that new ion plating. It doesn't tarnish or corrode !!!!

The flower ring is the ugly ring ???

Congrats on your bounty of coins.

Just from the picture, the "cheap" silver ring looks legit. Is it plated?
Nice haul anyhow. I have been hibernating because of the heat and humidity, not to mention schedule interfering with morning hunts.

That imitation gold ring looks nice. Like Donna said, I'll bet your heart skipped a beat when you saw that one in the hole.
I rarely find dollar coins. 6 of them is a whole seasons worth for me. Congrats.

I checked right away for stamps , none darn it. The flower ring is the ugly one. Has a spider on top with one leg broke off. I think I have two sandwich bags of those el cheap o rings now. This park is so trashy I haven’t found any silver besides rings in ten years. My friend with his Etrac says the same. Yet every time a new detector comes out they are there with shovels tearing up ground. Seems like no one pinpoints any more, but I do. I but nuggets with my found money. See attached picture.

It could be an artisan design (hand crafted). Those generally don't have a stamp or makers mark. I never thought I would see enamel paint on a silver ring, but I recently found a .925 that was relief painted like yours.
I'm sure you know what you are doing, I just don't want you to discount them because they aren't marked.

I've found that Minelab MF detectors don't pinpoint well. Everybody I've seen using a Minelab digs an 8" or larger plug. I have a Sovereign that I haven't used in 12 years, but I had to do the same if I didn't want to hit the target trying to retrieve it.
I can't speak to how well the newer Minelab detectors pinpoint, I haven't had any exposure to them.

That's a nice haul for a park in 2025. Those dollar coins most likely came from a school vending machine. A $5 bill will get you at least 3 dollar coins back usually.

You had a great outing…7 dollar coins in one hunt is fantastic!!!
