Detected a triangle curb strip earlier this week during a 90 minute hunt after work. These are small curb strips where three roads meet and create a triangle in the middle. We have a handful that I have found in our city and I've now detected most of them. I'd say the largest are probably about 50'x50'x70' or so. I've been lucky enough to find old coins and relics at some of the others.
The most recent one was a bit odd in that it only had clad, but also the 5 rings listed in the title. The gold ring is 14k white gold as stamped on the inside as well as a stamp showing a diamond and weighs 6.9 grams. I'm almost certain the diamonds are real based on my home tests and wonder if that is what the diamond stamp denotes? There's the main diamond and then 18 small chips, three rows of three on each side of the main diamond. Also found two silver rings, the single band weights 6 grams and the ring with several bands weighs 7.5 grams. The really large ring seems to be what I would call "pot metal", but the brown stones shine nice and bright in the light. Finally, an old, crusty ring that looks like it has a fake diamond and probably had gold gilt on it back in the day. I'm thinking a wedding band for those who couldn't afford the real deal possibly.
A very unique hunt indeed!
