18k gold wedding band (1920)

[diggyboy]

In the least expected place to find gold I did today! I was digging at an old dump that I have dug at for years , and I hit the jackpot! About 2 feet down, I scooped up some dirt with my hand, and something shiny caught my eye. I wiped it off thinking it was a part of a bottle cap, and immediately knew I had gold. I looked inside and it is inscribed ALB and MMA 12.18.20 18k! This was from a wedding from December 18th 1920, with the bride and grooms initials! I could not believe what I was seeing! I wasn't even using a detector or a shovel to find it, I was just scooping out dirt from my hole with my hand! This is my best find ever, and I will never forget this day!
