10/07/13 - had the stone tested and it's not a diamond. It's probably just glass or something inexpensive, but at least the band's gold! Can't take that away.
Yesterday's fortune was:
Fast forward to today:
The first, older place was a bust, but did manage two buttons, one a tombac with a design. Still need to clean. After that went back to the same place as last week that yielded some silver. Within 5 minutes a ring came out! It was about 5 inches down and was gold in color. Thought it could be gold, but packed it up until after the trip so it could be cleaned. As expected, finds weren't as abundant as last week, but still managed...
1943-S Wartime Nickel
1944-P Wartime Nickel
1949 Roosie
Some more Wheat cents but haven't gotten to cleaning them yet
Buffalo nickel - haven't checked it yet
Indian Head Cent - haven't checked it yet either
older junk ring
Got the ring home and cleaned it off... there's a stamp inside with an anchor followed by a "K". Actually found a ring last year with the same stamp. This is what was said last year...""an anchor tipped to the right and the letter K" used by Ripley-Howland Mfg Co. on 10K Gold Rings, Manufacturing Jewelers, Boston, MA, and New York, NY, USA - ca 1887 - 1912." So, looks to be old gold!! The Chinese Fortune cookie was right!!! Not sure of the stone, it's clear but has scratches so I'm doubtful it's a diamond. Will get it checked though just to be sure.
HH all!

Ok, cleaned the finds

Nice finds. Can't beat gold any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.
