Coppers, Silver, Relics and GOLD!

[romeo-1]

That about sums it up! We hunted the entire day on two new sites and weren't disappointed! The gold is rare to me because I do not find a lot on the types of sites I hunt. Looks like an older ring, probably early 1900s but the hallmarks are pretty worn. The diamond is still in place though! EDIT: Ring may be much older than 1900s...preliminary research indicates design elements indicative of the 1700s.

Also found a few coppers including a big Nova Scotia penny, a British 1941 Half Cent and a George III. The silvers are a 1904 five cent and the end of a silver utensil.

Relics are a shoe buckle, a couple buttons including a sporting button, a tombac and a Victorian military button, Also some trinkets and my favourite...a musket ramrod channel...my favourite find of the day.

Great day out and looking forward to the next time!

Boy, gold for us colonial relics guys is rare enough, but always a pleasure to see once in a while!
Nice little hunt you had there!

Amazing collection of finds! I really like the ramrod channel, there may be more of the gun out there.

Not a bad find among it all. It's great when you can get something really nice from all types of what we look for.

Yes gold is very rare for us colonial hunters…only ever got one gold cuff link, would be satisfied with a colonial gold coin and ring…not asking for much eh?

….Congrats a great day!

Phenom finds man.

Killer hunt bud!! You have both quality and quantity in that hunt. I remember finding one of those musket ram rod guides when I first started detecting. I threw it out with scrap because it didn't look like anything good. Shall I say I kick myself in the ass every time I see one posted!! Well done! The gold is a big surprise... And an awesome find! It's funNY, every time I look at that ring I see a shoe buckle on the top...you know, similar to the design of the colonial Era shoe buckles. And the swirl design on the sides, very unique. I wouldn't be surprised if it's older than early 1900's. It just has that look!

I wish I could determine age but the hallmarks are well worn...
