Man the weather here in Chicago has been beautiful! Spent 3 hours in the water, dug lot of those lead balls, couple coins and bullets. 1 10K gold filled earring, a junk ring and my oldest ever inscribed ring. 14K wedding band, 6.4 grams
Inscription reads: V.K. 2-23-1910
The ring and engraving show almost no wear.
21 days until their 102nd anniversary! WOW

Nice old ring! It sure does look like new. Wonder what those lead balls are? Fishing weights?

With the warmer winter weather across the country, I was wondering how
long it would be before you would get into the water Ron. Nice finds and
congrats on the old gold. Gold Nuggets :hello:
