my 2 most favorite things... gold and guns
You will love the new GB pro or G2......One thing I'm liking about it is it has a iron bar graph on the left of the screen. The VDI numbers are VERY large and easy to read. If I get an iffy signal, and the bar graph stays steady on passes from different directions, it usually isn't a pull tab but something coin like. I wouldn't have dug that ring but it stayed constant on the graph bars, and rang like a wind chime. It was only down 2-3 inches, Being an 81, it was right in between Copper/zinc cent (78), and Copper/clad dime (83). So I dug to see what an 81 might be........She's good in trashy and iron spots, too. Quiet. I almost like using the little coil more for general use, I got both coils.olekyground said:Awesome old ring!! I got a gold bug coming soon from Mike on here. "woodland detectors" I cant wait to try mine out!!
Well I took it in for an expert opinion. We researched the marks on it. What I found is: The Ring IS.... 22 Karat Gold! (91.6% Gold) weighs .24 ounces Troy, was assayed Birmingham England and given it's Makers Mark in 1845! That makes it 167 years old. They offered me $348 scrap/melt price for it, but I think I will hold on to it for a bit. It is such a nice ring it should really be sold as jewelry. Wow, that sure was a rush finding this.goldencoin said:Very old ring, you can use the hallmarks to identify which year it was made. Probably shouldn't put it into the melt pile until you do, Sweet ring!
