Hello everyone. Zaxfire here. Haven't posted in awhile but I had to show you what i found last night on a 2 hour night hunt in my local diggin hole. Using the Fisher F75 in all metal mode had a solid 16-18 on the VDI. I had second thoughts about digging it, but I remembered the Test dig I set up in my backyard with the 14K ring. It was in the same range as this target. I dug down about 4-5 inches an out of the hole came a gold shine. I checked the hole for stones just incase it was missing them. After cleaning discovered it was missing stones. That isn't a big deal. Gonna restore this ring and buy new stones for it. I put it under the microscope and discovered that it was a 14K ring. I then went to bed. WELL this morning I decided to take pictures of the ring. While taking pictures noticed another stamping on the inside of the ring. Put it under the microscope and discovered this stamping. B 1906 ...I took that as meaning Born 1906... I used to drink alotta beer with the born on Date.....?? Hopefully that is what it means. 30 degrees last night, but for the gold its all good....Zaxfire
