Keep The Faith !!!

Well Tuesday got the XP back from repair, only problem it still had had the fault on it (not very happy). Yesterday grabbed the old B3 and went out for a couple of hours with bro. Had a choice of one field only, everything else under crop. The field was only small, and hadn't produced much in the past. To be honest thought it would just be a matter of getting some fresh air and excercise. Then probably on only my third signal, after about 5 mins, I found this. From only a couple of inches, a find I have been after for many, many years. A 17th Century gold posey ring, these rings had secret inscriptions on the inside, messages of love or religion. This one is inscribed "Rather. dye . then . faith . denye ." maybe a Catholic's ring, they were persecuted for their religion at the time. The condition of the ring is amazing not a scratch and perfectly round. It looks to be of a very high carat gold. Enjoy the pictures.

I was in a city lot two days ago digging nothing but trash but based on location decided to stick it out for a couple hours. Now I'm one reale richer Again congrats on a spectacular find.. U have my vote. Jeff

Yes both fabulous finds, thought I would never get one. It didn't make the banner, but it did pay for a great holiday on the island of Crete .

I gave you a banner vote. Most people don't understand that you have to click on the report post/ Nominate for banner button. To vote for banner, you can't just leave a comment you need to click the button next to the posters original post/message bellow there Avatar at the bottom. That could be why your not on the banner but I don't know and I'm not allowed to presume I do. Its just a friendly guess...

Keep @ it and HH !!
