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

Fantastic!! Love the musket balls also. Fantastic spot you found!
 
Nice old ring! It sure does look like new. Wonder what those lead balls are? Fishing weights?
 
Starting the year off right Ron! :icon_thumright:
 
Great find! That is an old ring.
 
1910 - oh yeh, thats horrowshow for sure :icon_thumleft:
 
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:
 
More gold is out there
 
Very nice Ron!
found some real oldies myself - I think the oldest marked one was 1923
