Gold ring found!

Aquila · Jul 24, 2009

Park detected many times before brought gold today

. It´s gold ring from 1956 and black stone with it. Earlier today I went to the our civil war battlelines again. Lots of shells, about 20 of them from same hole, probably Red guard had machine guns in this spot. Also spoon, coins, white guard badge from 1920s and silver ring were found and something that looks like the part of pistol.

It looks as though that gold ring has several stamps inside it along with an inscription. Can you read the inscription?

there are stripper clips with the empty brass casings, these were used to speed load rifles not machine guns. also there are no machine gun links for the belt fed machine gun. you probably have a place where someone brought up ammunition to resupply the troops. nice finds by the way and thank you for sharing.

p.s. I too would like to know what the inscription says on the ring.

Thanks. Text is in Finnish and translation is "Anna in memoriam". Also there is date 1. 4. 1956. Yes there was also pieces of ammunition boxes nearby. But this site has seen heavy fighting that lasted over a month, bullets and shrapnels everywhere. I have dug over thousand relics in this forest
