Congratulations Eric!! The first is a great feeling. I hope to see you post many more. HH
Congrats on the silver - It's one of the nicer rings I've seen.
Don't forget to make notes about where you found it, and what you believe the area have been used for based on what you found. - and don't share the notes with anybody
One day you may be lucky enough to see a patern, so you can go strait to similar places in the future.
I still remember my first piece of jewelry - it started a small goldrush for me, and encouraged me to get out there more often.
GL and HH
