I headed out of town today to hit some of my weekly sites, I came across a recreation area that is having its pool resurfaced, this site is gated and I believe has never been hit, I talked to the construction guys about hunting the area for 30 minutes and they said no problem, there were good targets everywhere, I would set my machine down only to have it land on another good target, after 15 minutes I realized this site is going to take much longer, so I only started only digging quarter and gold signals, I got a strong signal with a 91 VDI, I dug down about 4 inches and found what I thought was a nut, I cleaned wiped it down with my shirt and noticed the 925 marking on the inside, this has got to be the ugliest silver ring that I have ever found but it is silver so Ill take it, after only 20 minutes of hunting I had a ring and over 4 bucks in change, my hunting buddy Kim and I always share our hot sites so I talked to the construction foreman about coming back Thursday, once again he said no problem, Kim has a new MXT Pro coming tomorrow (Wednesday) so we will be hitting it Thursday and hopefully will have some nice low VDI finds.

Howdy Pard!
That surely looks like it would be an uncomfortable ring to wear. And it ain't much in the looks department, but that won't matter much at melt value!

A ring like that makes you wonder whether it was lost or simply discarded!

I think it's kinda neat looking too lol Maybe it looks better when you put it on. But I bet it doesn't feel too good if you get into a fight. Looks like it can do a bit of damage. But silver is silver and you have an unbelievable site to hit. :clapping: I would hurry since I don't think it will be available for too long.

I don't think it's that ugly. Probably was owned by a mechanic.
I bet it's the heaviest silver ring you find this year!
