The square stamp in the ring is a hallmark, so it's either gold or silver.

Right, dredging up an old (ish) post here. Are there many detectorists on here? Would love to see some finds.

Im very new to this, been out about 4 times and my detector is faulty already! So need a new one. Thinking of getting a Garrett 250 as ive heard these are good machines.

My finds to date are rusty nails, clumps of metal and a 20p! But need a new detector now, so until that comes along I can only view finds and watch videos on youtube frown

So anyway, would love to see some finds, and possibly get to know a few people smile

the garrets are good machines but no good for the beach as you would have to turn the sensitivity right down on the wet sand ive been using one for the last 3 years but just sold it if you could get your minelab fixed there much better than the garrets but you will find plenty with a ace 250 there also realy easy to use jeff

Hi Jeff, to be honest I should of got a garrett to start with. I'm not too fussed about using it on the beach at the mo, as I will be in fields mostly. Maybe I will get a garrett and use that for a couple of years then move to a better detector and move onto beaches. Thanks for all your emails and assistance, its most appreciated

Right, I have a Garrett ace 250 now smile love it! found quite abit with it, from modern day coins, to old ones. Found some old one pennies and half pennies, oldest coin i've found is an 1871 six pence at my horse yard! As well as the Cunard steam ship medal for the lifeboat crew member of the Berengaria I have listed in the history section which was a very successful thread! Any new finds I may put on this thread or might start a new one with my finds smile
