Oldest coin yet,and struck gold




Well the old saying hunt your feet first certainly was true today,I went to one of our most used parks were I know the soil has been turned over and modified many times,I was there only 10 minutes and found the gold ring it has a Russian hammer and sickle on the inside with the the letters 585 and 03K,a bit of research tells me it is 14kt.Real happy with the one shilling 1858 with a very young looking queen victoria on the back.Also several pennnys all dating around the 1930's and a aussie half penny 1948.Also a few more goldies to go towards the etrac.HH jim

  2. Fantastic hunt there! The turning over of the soil must have brought some deep targets to the surface. Beautiful silver and great ring. :)
