I've weighed them on digital kitchen scales which don't have point numbers so ring 3 & 4 came out as the same weight even though ring 3 has a horseshoe on the stone, They should be at least the weight shown. Thought I'd add a couple nice coins to create a bit of interest & if nothing else its a good talking point. First a virtually UNC 1863 penny, real scarce in this grade & a 1696 William III crown. If any interest drop us a PM Edited by user Saturday, 1 February 2014 11:45:42 AM(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified File Attachment(s): gold 001.JPG coin 001.JPG coin 002.JPG coin 003.JPG coin 004.JPG

Sweet rings coinnut, I found my first two with the F4 the other day although nothing flash like yours. Off subject what are you thinking of upgrading to?

Couple of advises : * i will strongly recommend to get exact weight on .XX scale * get size of each ring * Ring 4&5 will fetch only scrap gold value. as wedding beds do not have resale value and other one is broken and repair will cost half the gold value of gold in the ring * Ring 1 is Class ring from United states that has inscription/initial, date of graduation and the educational institution details on - it has no resale value, only scrap gold. Also they are all indexed and it takes about 10 minutes to locate the owner. * Rings 2&3 is your best rings to sell as items, hence you better get details of their Sizes. Regards Max

I'm gonna keep it in the Fishers family & go for a F70, bit cheaper than the 75 & hopefully a lot deeper than the F4.

I am a while off upgrading, when I do I will keep the F4 for a good spare

This is a bit oval shaped as its been dinged on one side (prob by me!!) 19mm x 22mm & only fits my little finger so prob size S 1/4? 2. The best of the lot when it comes to condition, 21mm size W 3. The stone in this has a tiny chip on one corner (again prob by me!!!) which makes it slightly loose, 19 & a bit mm so around size T 1/2 4. 20mm size U 1/2 5. Tried to bend it back into shape this morning & cracked it! (definatley by me!!! haha) the smallest ring 19mm size R

It was a bit cheeky for a newbie to find something like that so prob deserved to get pushed in the river!!! Thought about other detector brands but decided to stick with what im kinda used to, Cant wait to get me hands on it!!!
