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

Congrats on a terrific gold ring find, Ron! :wav:

Lorraine
 

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?
 

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
