    It was a promise ring. When the woman's finger turned green and she scratched the stone, she realized her intended wasn't the man she thought he was. She whipped it off her finger and threw it at him. It bounced off his chest and landed in the grass under the apple tree. There it stayed until Simon Bourne dug it up with the help of his rescue chickens.

    When you have bent items made of zinc diecast they can be straightened without breaking by heating in a house oven. Heat to 350 degrees, bend a little, heat again until straight. I have used this method on numerous vintage car parts.

    As the young maiden looked at her ring, admiring it because it was from the boy from the farm down the street from her father's farm. Her head shot up because all of a sudden she heard her father calling her. He mustn't see the ring, she thought. Her hands were shaking as her father's footsteps were getting closer, just then she dropped the ring as her father turned to see her. He asked her what she was doing in the orchard and she replied, Just walking. He told her to get up to the house to help her mom in the kitchen for supper. She stepped on the ring to hide it from her father. She thought, I'll remember where it is. She went up to the house not knowing that she would never see the ring again.

    Love watching the 3 videos!! I can't believe all the great items that you found in your backyard. I thought it was an art deco ring when I first saw it. England is full of treasures like that in the ground and in the muck. I think it was so cool of an idea to check your own yard.
    Thanks for a very enjoyable video!!😍 💍

      Unfortunately thats not true, right next to me is a dinky triumph spitfire that says Meccano on it. The details and layout of the base plates changed and you can date them with the right guidance, lots of help is available online. With that model of truck a good rough guide is that smooth wheels are pre war and wheels with a ridge are post war. Not 100 percent but good approximation.
