i went back to the old army air field again tonight, inspired by my recent finds there, and came home with a huge sterling silver ring.....at first i thought it was our lord and savior jesus christ, but now i'm not so sure....it has an uncanny likeness of one osama bin laden....if anyone recognizes the face, please let me know.....for now i'll call it my jesus ring...i took a pic of it before tossing it into the tumbler, but for some reason it's not on my card ? this pic was taken after a couple of hours in the tumbler....it's marked sterling, and by the condition it's condition was in , i think it may very well be from the WWII days of the base, but who knows ? i found it about twenty yards from where the merc was recovered along with the cig case and half of a military pin....i think i found a spot that may hold some more goodies, time will tell....hh

    Never have seen a ring like that. My first impression was Arabian. Whoever it is looks to be grimacing. Nice snag Dubba!

    Nice chunk of silver. I see you tracked it down. I would have voted to Osama too.

    that's what it said on the web site jerry, but when she e mailed me back she said it was a gift for a friend who was in saudi arabia in 1980 and that it was made there....?...conflicting reports, which story to believe ?....it's a neat find for me none the less...hh
