It was a legal standard of gold in British jewellery between 1854 and 1931.
It was actually discontinued in England as a gold standard in 1932 with Commonwealth member countries soon following.

15K is so unique! I just love that ring! congrats Joe!
Nice old gold OBN! Excellent clean up job too! Congrats!
Thanks Slimpick! I do enjoy cleaning most of the treasures, but I just throw away the crusty pennies.
Thank GS! Been a year of alot of singles golds, this hunt just happened to get lucky with two.
Thanks Steve! Just a guess but I would say what 20plus dollars is now.
Thanks Frank, Hope you are well my friend! Never forget my visits there with you guys!
Thats Felix, I am with you on ASAP..looks like Early tuesday visit is on order!Great hunt! Looks to me that if you got that in one hunt you need to head back soon again.
Thanks Meg! Lets hope, things change so fast you just never know..
Thanks Chumly, it was a good time. Just glad Scott got yellow. He seems to get discouraged when he goes with out for awhile.
Thanks Charly! Love this spot but it is tuff!
I have seen it before but not found by me..
Thanks Meg, this place was big time in the early 1900's, died in the late 30's and 40's but came back to life in the 60's to 80's..but now no longer used.
Thanks CD! I agree, one that will never see the melters.

Wow, those are some fantastic rings! Sweet class ring and a 15K, wow...thats a first to see for me.
I gotta say, I just love the spots you have to pull some serious history. I have a one like as well but it hardly yields anything until its well and ready. Which is usually not that often.
I hope you hit that spot again and again...good luck and nice finds.

Another great hunt Joe... did you make a video of this hunt?
I went from drysuit to wetsuit, so I stopped doing video since the battery pack was in the drysuit.

I've dug a lot of gold rings and never have I said this was a gold ring. Most are so deep that they will not give a signal in discriminate, but I continue to dig for you just have the feeling there is gold here and I'm going to find it.

Great finds, OBN! Amazing find on the old-school 15K. That's a tough one to come across, these days.
And for your friend. 100% odds that he would find it. Of course, the probability of him finding it in the future? MUCH LESS. LOL
Thanks for the posts. I always love to see what you're finding, and the fact you're running into 110+ year old stuff is just amazing...
