I got it pretty fast. I had an image of a soldier and then realised what the answer was. Very nice.
I had several answers, none of them as straightforward as the "right" one. Most of all, I like the re-take on the "man lying in a field" cliche. Got any more?
And there was me thinking parachute rip cord ring......
lol its a great teaser solar! i hope u get more approved!
That was awesome!
Maybe the ring from a bull's nose?
A bull wouldn't be in the middle of a field. And if it belonged to someone would not let it go this far where the owner could not here the explosion. It is hard to pull a bull ring off of a bull anyway, you are real smart
I was thinkin a parachute that doesn't open. Oh well.
I thought it would be some sort of poison ring or a ring from a freaky kind of gun thing. I liked it. Keep them coming!
i was thinking the ring from lord of the rings and the dudes who come and kill you when you put the ring on killed him...lol
I THOUGHT IT WAS GOOD.
The ring would be on a finger or between his teeeth if he watched old war movies, but not in his hand.
I thought a ring from a parachute that didn't open.There were too many solutions.
if the grenade nlew up wouldn't the ring be blown from his hand if not smashed to bits.
good teaser though

I thought he proposed to saomeone he had been dating for a while and she killed him because she was so mad, but then i saw the hint and knew I was wrong. Anyway, good teaser!
Good one!!
I LOVED IT! IT IS MY FAV. TEASER!

ohhhhhhhhhh.
Funny Teaser
Funy how the clue failed to mention that his left lung was splattered all over a nearby rock and his right leg from the knee down was protruding from his eye socket. Apart from that it was easy!
Yeah I don't think "lying in the middle of a field" is a good description of someone holding a discharging grenade. "Lying in bits all over the field" is more appropriate.
Is the farmer some kind of weird mental illnes kind of guy? Who blows themselves up?
There are some things very wrong with this riddle. First, if the grenade exploded, the ring, if not melted, would not still be in his hand. Period. Also, saying that a man was lying in a field is a little deceptive. The singular article "a" implies that he is still in one piece.
Overall, this riddle leaves much to be desired.

I thought the ring would be from the ripcord of a parachute which broke.
