Gold Surprise

[Silver Searcher]

Decided to go looking for some land to dig any land would do, this time of year the back field garden to look good Anyway after about 2 hours we stubled on two fields that were being dragged for reseeding after talking to the boys who were driving the tracktors we found the owner :P and it was yes

The soil was just basically dust, I have never seen better , but there was a problem there was loads of junk that had been dumped on it still beggars can't be choosers
We walked on the field and one of the drivers came over to us for a chat, he told us that some years back he had cleaned out a boating lake in the area, and the spoil had gone onto this field, he also told us that during cleaning the lake he himself and the outhers doing it had found quite a few nice things, he advised us to follow the hedge as this is were the spoil had been tipped to.
Not really taking this seriously, as you here a lot of stories, I headed down the field to the right. The junk was everwere, but it did thin out towards the second field, coppers were turning up, but nothing really old considering we were right on a Roman road a couple of thimbles put in a appearance, again not old ones after about an hour of this I headed over to were he had said the spoil had been tipped, I got a nice strong signal and flipped over the soil and saw just a glint of gold I picked up a handfull of dirt and there it was my second piece of Gold this year, and in good shape

The ring is 9kt with the Birmingham Anchor Mark, and the letter i which dates it to 1908, so another addition to post in my Gold Ring thread

It's better than I expected ... beautiful ring!
Their finds look very good, with a patina are very regular and without calcareous concretions or different shades in the same find . the camera is high quality , the type of sand fields or by covering them with some repatinar product, but look great ..... you besides being good hunter and live in a rich area of findings is a good photographer.
Greetings!
