Noah and I went to a town that we have never been to before. We spent most of the day there with very little to show for it.
After hitting several houses, all I was able to find was a 1942 merc and an 1893 V nickel along with a few wheats.

We decided to hit a very small town about 15 miles away. We got permission at a house that has been detected by a metal detector dealer and his brother. The home owner said they hit it twice about 10 years ago.
Well, they missed a few!! I dug 2 Indians, some kind of military rifle pin ( I think ). If any one knows what it is, I would appreciate some info. Thanks!

Then I got a screaming 11-48 at about 6 inches. I dug the plug and pulled out a very cool horse head sterling ring.

Wow Don, that's a big chunk of silver ring! Great find for sure. 12-48, must have thought you had a case of beer cans there! :lol: That rifle pin is really cool. Looks like WW1 styling to me.

You win the contest for best looking ugliest ring Don! The marksmanship badge is cool. Any ideas on it's age or who issued it? HH, Dave.

I know, you either love it or you hate it!
I have not been able to find that marksmanship anywhere on google!
