Baseball field paid off..

[Exploreruser]

Today I went to where a older Baseball field once stood for a couple hours of hunting, it was in use from the 1950's up till the 1980's..I scored a neat titanium ring & a few newer coins along with some older shotgun shell ends...I don't think the ring had been there long it was less then a half inch deep.. :happydance01:..Thanks for looking..

Nice finds... what's the tag or token?

Nice score on the ring :clapping: I don't know when Titanium started for rings, but I don't think it was that long ago. There should be some silver there since it started in the 50's. Even Mercs and Standing Liberty are possible. What's the wishbone looking item on the right?? Nice hunt and I hope you get some silver next time out!!

Those titanium rings sure can get you going at first. lol That site seems to have potential for more good stuff. :yes:

It's a 1974 dog tag.. :) It showed as a perfect quarter signal & was about 6-7 inches deep..

I've never seen a titanium ring. What's the per ounce price on that metal. I only deal in gold and wow what a good time to sell. All my gold has doubled in price. Paid $143 for a 2000w Gold coin and now it's worth $300 plus.

It never ceases to amaze me where bullets/casings are found. Makes me feel like it never ceased to be the wild west/east. Then again, there are times I wished I was carrying. Nice finds.

Congrats on that nice ring! I didn't even know they came in titanium. I wonder how to tell if something is platinum- a test kit I guess? I find big chunks of metal that seem like platinum... (wishful thinking? lol)

Platinum is marked PT with a number gernerally 950, denoting the amount of platinum, (PT950).

I think titanium is the modern day rip off lolI think you pay a lot for the ring, but metal value is much lower than gold. We used to sell titanium earings that were multi color and they were a bit more expensive than silver. Mostly for the novelty of it. Haven't checked metal prices yet, but I bet ratio wise vs gold or platinum, it's overpriced. Sell while you can. lol

Outstanding finds. Love the ring a lot. I would like to hear what it sounds like so I don't miss one. :bangahead01:

Yeah I figured melt value was low, but I think it's better to keep the ring :clapping: Nice ID on the sheet music holder. Kinda a unique item.

Totally!!! I remember my grandmother's... She played piano and violin...

Congrats on the great finds! Sounds like that field could give up even better stuff!

The titanium rings are only from the last 10 years IIRC. Titanium is extremely hard and durable, but not an expensive metal. The expense of the rings comes from the cost involved in manufacturing. I have one that I wear when I go on deployments so that my gold ring won't get messed up.
