    Old Park gives up more goodies!

    Hello!

    I got out for a few hours today. I went to a local park that's been absolutely POUNDED in the past . . . . but today seemed different . . . the grass was cut much shorter than usual . . . I think the extra inches helped me out! Here's what I dug:

    1951-S Washington Quarter
    1925-s Merc dime
    1943-P War Nickel
    1907 Indian Head Cent
    13 wheat cents
    plenty of clad
    Military button
    GOLD ring

    The Gold ring weights 3.6 grams. But I don't know what the markings are inside the band ~ I took close-up pic's ~ anyone know what these marking mean?

    Thanks for looking!
    Neil

    UPDATE! . . . . I finally had someone figure out the symbols on the gold ring! It's Japanese!! The first mark is the marker's mark . . . . then the two symbols together mean "PURE" & "GOLD". SWEEETTT!!!!!

    Good close-ups.

    Looks Asian hallmarks, but its a best guess. I hope someone pins it down more...

    up with sweet keepers every now and then. Nice job Neil

    great finds. I agree with Crusader, the marks look Asian. I wouldn't have a clue what they say. Probably best to get it acid tested for purity

    Goes to show places are never truly "hunted out". Nice catch on the gold.

    One of my favorite hunting spots is and old park that has been around for nearly a hundred years. I always take my small grandkids there because I can always depend on finding something to amaze them. The place has literally thousands of zinc pennies I think. You can find one every few feet without looking too hard, but I also found a gold ring there once upon a time. I'm usually the only one there because it is "hunted out". Keep at it, old parks are great! Monty
