The last 2 days has been great for me. I hit a hole that just keeps on giving. The first day was 2 gold rings 2 - 14k. Day 2 was 4 rings 2 - 14k, 1 - 10k, and 1 - 18k. The lighter is very old also. 1 buff & 1 Murc. But my best fine of the day was that 18k a whopping 14.6g. It is from the 1700's to 1800's The Rt Hon Sir John Blaquiere 1st Baron de Blaquiere. wax seal or signet gold ring was found in Maine on a beach deep in the mud. Lord Belmont In Northern Ireland: 1st Baron de Blaquiere Take a look at WOW. Thanks George79 for your info. He was : The Rt Hon Sir John Blaquiere Bt KCB, 1st Baron de Blaquiere. His first name changed when he became a Baron Lord de Blaquiere. It looks like that he gave this ring to his son the 5th or the 6th William de Blaquiere. WOW I am the proud owner of a very historical ring. I have put it in a bank safe for safe keeping. This may be very valuable. The seal has "Tiens A La Verite" and wheat stalks I think. This is the best find I have ever found of historical scale. This beats out my find of my GW button last year. Only because I could find another one. But I will never find a ring like this a gain it is one of a kind. The makers mark is JW also 18 with no K that should help to date it. It reads on the inside : W. de B. from the Rt Honble - Lord de blaquiere. I hope I will find out more. Here is my photo's
