Title: my finds fom 2day GOLD!!!!! Post by: romano-brit on February 13, 2011, 11:41:05 AM went back to where i used to live, done the pasture field for over 5 years never really found much on it before
now the explr11s got the pro coil on its a totally different machine and field found my 1st silver of the year, a 936 silver sixpence and a worked bit of hallmarked silver and my 1st ever gold find, a gold ring from the 1700s with a nice bit of writing on the inside, it says: C R OB 16 May 709 cet 60. to say i was thrilled would be an understatement, i ran round the field trying to get a phone signal im still buzzing now Title: Re: my finds fom 2day GOLD!!!!!

You could make an educated guess that the ring belonged to the husband or wife of the deceased (depending on the size of the ring) and you have a date of death 16th may 1709 and you know the initials were CR, it could be interesting to ask to see the parish register for that year to see if you can put a name to them if they were local and maybe even get an idea of who it belonged to.

Title: Re: my finds fom 2day GOLD!!!!! Post by: romano-brit on February 13, 2011, 10:40:19 PM yep the pro coil has totally changed the explr11, much more stable and can cran it rite up even on highly minerlised soil
was picking up .22 ends at over 10 inches, its so sensetive to thetiniest items well worth the cash if you can ever find a 2nd hand one |
