Were you detecting at the beach Not a beach but, there was an island of sorts :). I was just out at a spot I found in the city over the weekend that was an old tram line stop – no trams anymore just buses.

I was really happy with that 1800’s ring. I see it has a hallmark of some kind on each side of the date but, can’t quite make them out. Anyway doesn't matter now as my wife has commandeered it :)

They hadn't invented Made in China back then, so good chance it's rose gold - In which case, well done! Only one thing better than gold, and that's old gold :)

Did a ground balance and basically stood in one spot did a 360 and pulled 7 silvers. Got my first OZ silver and my oldest silver 1880.
