I had a couple of hours after work, and before the sun set, to make it to one of my favorite parks for a short hunt tonight. I only ended up staying for a little over an hour. I got a few clad coins a 1950d wheatie thumbsup01 But the find of the night was this silver & turquoise owl ring |:cheering:
She was pretty bent up when she first popped out of the ground crying01
Snapped this pic with my new phone lol

The ring isn't stamped anywhere. :dontknow: But I know it's silver. :yes:

The ring was pretty bent outta shape. So I bent it half way back to roundness with a small (toothless) pair of pliers and finished fixing it on my mandrel. ;)

That ring is really cool, Tim, and you did a great job straightening it out! :yes:

Glad that you were able to get out and enjoy some swing time.

Your new phone takes great pics too!
