Man do I have a lot of catching up to do on Tnet!!! Not only have I not been detecting in about three weeks, I've been off of Tnet all that time as well. Holy cow there are some nice looking finds up in the banner that I can't wait to read about.
I decided to get out detecting today after about three weeks busy with other things or weather not cooperating with me. I went back out to my favorite campground site to try to pull some more silver from it. I was disappointed to see how high the grass and weeds have grown up in the fields that I like to hunt in.
Well, after about 2.5 hours, I did not have any silver coins to show for my efforts (and only about 5 coins total - current clad), but right before heading home I took a walk through a big field near my car and I found the first gold ring I've found at the campgrounds yet (with the exception of my own gold wedding band that I had lost and then found 4 months later - yes, remember that little story?). I've found around a dozen rings at the campground site, with around half of them silver, but had never found a gold ring there and knew there must be one.
So today was the day. Here are the pics of the ring. It is small - likely a child's ring. It is a very deep yellow gold color, and quite heavy for its small size. I do not recognize the hallmark inside. It looks to me like it reads 100 or .001. I also don't recognize the style of writing on the ring.
Can anyone help me determine what karat gold this might be, and what the letters on the ring mean?
Here is the hallmark in one direction...
And here is the hallmark turned the other way...
