I've been on a hot streak lately.
This is the 5th gold ring in about 2 1/2 weeks. I don't think I've ever found 5 gold rings in any given month before.
I was out hunting after dark using the lights of an adjacent ball field.

The gold's 10K with four diamonds.

The silver one is a rarer find for me. It was deep and it's older. It's only the second ring I've ever found with the Mexican Eagle mark on it. Hard to see in my pic. They started using the mark in 1955 and stopped somewhere around 1970 according to this article. Mexican Silver Marks - Online Encyclopedia of Silver Marks, Hallmarks & Maker's Marks
The two pics on the right of that page are eagles.

The ring says, Sterling Taxco 925, Hecho En Mexico, then a 6 for the size. Then the Eagle 1 mark. Each eagle will have a number in the middle signifying the city it's made in. 1 means this ring was made in Mexico City.

Nope, I'm 90 minutes from there. I see you're in Mexico. I've always figured that place would be great place to hunt. I've had different people from Mexico two or three times tell me about how there's gold buried in the hills down there.
