Yes it is a bit of a shame that it isn't gold but still a brilliant find and maybe still museum quality.

It is pretty easy to imagine the owner slogging it out with a heart full of hope.

Super super nice find

Thanks markgoldhunter, the hallmarks include the number 15 the 2nd stamp is inelligible and then there is the letters T H in seperate squares. I assume the latter is the maker.

I will take a closer pic & send them through tomorrow.

I was using a gpx5000 with a 15 Nugget Finder Coils. It was an area away from diggings, that l been working for a couple of months.

Best regards Bullwinkle.

Bloody amazing find! Even if its not gold its significant just for its age and design.

One for the pool room, thats for sure! erfect:

These brass cygnet rings were often made in Birmingham, England, so if that's the case it should have an anchor stamped on it from which you might be able to date it.

It`s finds like this and the unusual belt buckles and coins that pokes the fire in the belly a bit more to go out and try to unearth these treasures.

Well done BullWinkle.

Thanks mate, I agree. I love finding gold, but would love to know the human stories behind any artefact that we find in the goldfields.
