[QUOTE="Saving Our History, post: 672816, member: 24614"] Hi everyone, Recently been out to a nice little location and found a few things, trash included of course, but found a few cents and a nice little pocket spill of a 1c and a 1960 Sixpence in the same hole, decent enough condition too. [ATTACH]11243[/ATTACH] BUT.... my highlight for the day was something I wasn't expecting to find at all.... This isn't my best find of my whole detecting career so far, as I'm history focused so my interests for detecting finds are deeply related to my interest in historical events and artifacts. Although, no doubt this find is for sure one to remain in my top finds list.... Ringing up on the Minelab CTX 3030 with a perfect 12.34 at 3-4 inches depth, I was expecting an old penny or silver coin.. [ATTACH]11245[/ATTACH] Yet, lo and behold.. seek and ye shall find, GOLD!!! [ATTACH]11244[/ATTACH] Weighing in at 8.17 grams [ATTACH]11246[/ATTACH] This is a perfect condition 9ct (375 stamp) Men's Wedder ring made with 50% white gold and 50% yellow gold, definitely shows use and wear from over the years, and surprising to find next to a small creek! It gave me such a shock that an audible gasp and excitement on my face had to be collectively hidden from the public eye, I was smiling for the rest of the hunt though 😊 Unfortunately there is no name, initials or any sort of identification on this ring so the owner is unknown. However, if anyone knows what the hallmark 'MM' represents, please let me know as it would be greatly appreciated, since even with research I can't find an identical company mark to what is stamped in this ring, might even just be 'MM' for 'Maker's Mark' ?? Not sure. [ATTACH]11247[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]11248[/ATTACH] Happy hunting! :) Cheers, SOH [/QUOTE]
