Gold ring, need help with marks.

[DigginDownUnder]

I found this gold ring.
I think it's old judging by the site it was found.

I'm having trouble with the marks, I can make out the word "hunters" but that's it.
I thought I could see 9c for a moment, but my eyes could be playing tricks







Thanks for any help.
