My buddy pulled 5 silver rings, 2 gold class rings, I don’t know how many silver rings and pendants plus a hand full of Mercs, insane day
 

Ok... here's the dealio...

The cameo is great.. BUT... not as old as I was hoping.

The design and feel of it came across as MUCH older... not that it is not old... it is... just was hoping to see a "lion" mark. :)

NOW... having said this... this by no means makes this "less" than cool.

The ring is special regardless and a heck of a score none the less.

Monetarily even they are VERY collectable... but like anything else... it's all in who is willing to pay what.

it is very interesting... and older.

Dang you absolutely CRUSHED it! Congrats, you need to get back in there :icon_thumleft:
 

Wow! Outstanding day for you guys!
 

Congratulations. As I said before, you are one lucky dude. I would bve camping in the bed of the pond until the water gets up to my chin. Sites like that are getting so rare. Keep up the good work.
 

I’ll post my buddies stuff when he sends the pix to me
 

STAY OUT THERE! Have you tried digging a trench in a hot spot yet?
When I had this opportunity back in 2009 there were some guys that were smarter than others and set up a big gas sifter and cleaned up with around 300 gold rings. Yes, I said 300 gold rings. Who knows how many silver coins and rings they had.
Grats and ENJOY!!!
 

That is a hot spot for sure.Congrats!
