    I found this 9 carat mens gold ring about three weeks back while on hunting a park with Pyrites Pete...
    It was 2 1/2" ~ 3" deep. In hard packed dirt...
    I figured it had been there a while, as it was really hard packed.
    It has F2943 ( design number ?) stamped on the inside of the ring, and has 375 stamped ( gold content) stamped also...

    G'day Beep'n, I used my Fisher F75 LTD... The number was 51 ~ 52.
    I did a scan with my V3i, using "Magics best data program" I got a number 48.
    I set up the V3i again with "Jacks correlate setup;" and got a number 47...




    Cheers mate!
