So I went out to the old airbase today looking for a couple more silver coins to add to my total for the year. The site I have been hitting was the sports field for the air crews that were training to fly for WWII. All the coins that I have been finding there have been pre 1945 so it's a great place to hunt for the older stuff. I always thought that there should be some gold on the site but dismissed it as finding a needle in a haystack plus the site has been hunted for years by other metal detectors.
Well today the CTX really paid off. Picked up a non-iron signal that looked interesting and at about 8 inches down out popped this nice old 14K ring. It weighs in at 5.83g. It's too bad that it does not fit because for me it has way too much history to melt. The guy who lost this was likely flying over Germany a few months later and a lot of those boys never made it home.
