Man the weather here in Chicago has been beautiful! Spent 3 hours in the water, dug lot of those lead balls, couple coins and bullets. 1 10K gold filled earring, a junk ring and my oldest ever inscribed ring. 14K wedding band, 6.4 grams
Inscription reads: V.K. 2-23-1910
The ring and engraving show almost no wear.
21 day until their 102nd anniversary! WOW
 
WOW

How Touching

Nice to see you post again..you are an inspiration to us newbies and more than newbies

Nice finds Ron. Great article in the Gold Prospectors magazine. Lead is worth saving and it adds up quick. HH :minelab:

Yes thanks it was pritty cool, I gave the reporter some info about the export process so he gave me a mention and the way the editor put it togeter it looks like I found the ring, LOL Until you read the article still waiting for my copy.

Inscriptions in rings go back to the midieval period, Then it was mostly mourning and posey rings. I'm sure ther were some even back to Saxon, Celtic and Roman times.
 
I have a class ring from 1901. And some older dated wedding rings, Love finding old gold. You sure found a great spot. Hope you can pull more out of there.
 
Chicagoron,

I found very similar lead balls on the East Coast. Do you know what they were from? Grape shot? Time period? From a shipwreck or munitions dump?

Thanks,

Surfline
