As always I can't find the mark. It shocks me how many markings there are. I have like 10 links for marks and none of them match up. I never find the marks people have but 1000's of others, I don't know I give up. Nice finds !

Keep @ it and HH !!

Looks like Possably a Pre 1906 Gold Filled Ring

Before the metals act was passed in 1906 there were a lot of misleading marks being used. For example, the mark 14 and 18 followed by a cross (4 points, NOT a star) was the trade mark of Clark & Coombs, Providence, RI used for GOLD FILLED rings.

There's just something about finding a ring that makes me keep digging for hours afterward.

There must be a ton of people out there with really small, slippery fingers.
