2nd Gold! First gold ring! Under porch Hunt!

[critik]

OK guys so I went to the Jane McDowell house to hunt, it has been abandon for quite sometime. I started out sweeping the yard with no good finds. I know it has been hit many times only found a 1927 wheat. So I notice all the wood from the porch was pulled up so I decided to commando it under the porch crawling with the el cheapo. I ended up finding a very old gold ring with the stone missing. The house was built in 1780 so i imagine it has been there forever. I also found a ball button a weird porcelain button lookalike except it has like a clasp thing on back where it slid down into something. It was brass and a white glass or porcelain or marble, really not sure. Here are pictures of the house and porch. Going to get a ID on the strange button

Glad to see the extra effort payed off for you. Looks like the ring was of high quality. Too bad you couldn't find the stone (it may till be there).

Should I go collect the dirt and then sift through it

Wouldn't be a bad idea. Wouldn't have to sift too much, since you know exactly where the ring was. Might be worth your effort.
