Park Gold and sunshine!

[Bartek]

It finally stopped raining! After a very wet and gloomy week I decided to hit a local park where in the past I dug a nice mix of old and new coinage. I went over to the area where I found a toasty LC last year and began my grid. Swinging slow I hit few targets (clad). 15 or so minutes I hit a deep signal on my Deus, which sounded similar to a penny. Flipped the plug and was treated to a Gold surprise!



It's been a while since gold came across my coil so I'm pretty excited!

It has an array of hallmarks and it's 22kt!



When I got home I gave it a soap bath and placed it on a scale: only .116 oz but I researched the marks and I think it's a 1866 Birmingham UK band. Still not sure what the maker is (H A)? Any help will be appreciated!



Besides this a dozen or so wheats and 1951 Rosie.

It was great being out in warn sunshine and swinging again!
Happy hunting all!!

I really am surprised that we don't find more really old jewelry like this. I love the marks!

WTG!

Question: This ring, as an example, would it ring out true on a Tesoro Vaquero at full discrimination?

Awesome find Bart. I'd love to dig a few of those in my career. I guess you took a day off from the Brambles huh?

 

[CoilyGirl]

Thanks guys! Loco, I've been itching to dig all week, the rain ceased and I was out. Charlie was in brambles for sure & Steve had Mother's Day obligations. Hopefully this week I'll do more digging [emoji4]

Nice find buddy. Hallmarks and gold - can't go wrong!

Very nice looking gold ring. Your H A Hallmark could be Horton & Allday in Birmingham. I just researched a piece that my wife found at an estate sale, & went back to the same website.
