My Vote is in! Banner nomiation, they deserve to grace the Banner!

Those rings strike me as being special! Believe it is about time to see a "Ruby duo" up on the banner!!!!!!!!!!!! They may not get it, but my Vote is in! CARM
 

I cant thank Whydah enough for inviting me and taking me out to some of his spots
but have to thank Treasure Net too - if not for this forum - would never have made hook up and would never have made the finds :icon_thumright:
 

Beautiful rings Casper. Someone had to be Sick to loose those. Let us know what you find out, love to know the age! :icon_thumleft:
