Another scorcher day today, mid 90's, so I needed a spot with some shade. Went back to a permission property that is an old members only club. Had a nice wheat day, with 2 1944's, 2-45's, a 51, 53 and 55D. Had a signal on the Simplex that was ringing up like it was going to be a dime. Signal was down in some tree roots. When I got it out, I was surprised that it wasn't a dime, but instead, an undated Buffalo Nickel. The front and back images look pretty good, but the date is completely gone. The other really cool find is a Cooperstown Baseball Hall of Fame Ring. It's in decent shape. I found a single image of one of these on a subscription antiques website, which indicated that the ring is made of copper, with adjustable sizing, and it possibly came from a vending machine at the Hall of Fame. The auction price or date of the ring were not provided, but I would estimate, based on the looks of it, that it is 1950's vintage. I used Google for a reverse image ID of this ring, and there were no matches out of several billion images online...I don't think it's worth a ton, but it appears to be a somewhat unique ring. Had a great 2 hours finding these items, despite the heat.
