This beauty popped up in a park for me today.
10k on Sterling.
Gold would have been better but I'm not gonna complain.

More pics from the weekend on my blog.

Awesome find MK....bet the banging signal nearly made your ears bleed! Is it a class or a military service ring do you think? With so many American troops stationed in Auckland during WW2, it could be either.

I think Class Rings have a serial number on them don't they?

That is why I have called it a "Class Ring style" due to lack of number etc.
At this point I am not sure if it is or just looks like one.
