Aug 9, 2015: 3 Silvers including ring made out of 1964 Kennedy half!

Got back to the same place I've been hitting. Still producing some keepers. Earlier in the hunt got a cent-ish signal that didn't quite sound right. Flipped the plug and heard a high tone. Figured it was a quarter and a cent in the plug, but I got a silver ring instead. Upon getting it home I could see something on the inside... saw the 1964 date and other elements of the a Kennedy half dollar. Pretty neat! The outside of the band is blank.

Ended the day with:

189? IHC
Dateless Buffalo nickel
Older Sterling band
1964 Kennedy ring
1940 Washington Quarter
6 Wheat cents
Junk ring with red stone

Odd the kennedy band is wavy, but it looks intentional. Very odd because the band from a week or two also has a wavy band. Put together they fit like a puzzle piece. Is this a new thing? Or were both stepped on and it's just a big coincidence?

HH all!

    Nice finds... the Kennedy ring is great.... we used to make those rings in the Navy (Pre Kennedy halves)....I would say the deformation is damage and the fit with the other ring coincidence. Cheers, RickO

    I agree with RickO....damage and coincidence regarding the rings.

    Neat finds as always, especially the Kennedy Half ring. Agree with the others, the fit between the two rings is coincidence only.

    Looks like an amazing hunt to me .. You got a little bit of everything and it's not everyday you find a silver coin ring image

    Good stuff - Keep it up image

    welcome to the forums bigpoppas!

    This is my first coin ring, so it's pretty special even though it's not pristine. Also is an example on why digging everything leads to some surprise finds.

    Thanks for the welcome Pcgs...
    I'm a digger too, so I can appreciate the rarity of digging a coin ring ..
    I can't claim to have ever found one ..

    Detecting is what got me interested in coin collecting again , but the overall thrill of the hunt is the best ..

    Congrats again !!!

    I pretty much beach hunt nowadays, but I did dirt hunt a lot when I was a kid ..
    I'm using a Minelab Excalibur II that will be turning 4 years old in another month and is starting to show its age .. Lol

    It's been a great time !!!!
