I had previously posted this ring on the Deus2 forum when I found it a few months ago. Since it's about to celebrate its 130th birthday I thought you guys would appreciate some pictures of it too.4CBEF069-8F6D-4BA0-9685-043E7E153F87.thumb.jpeg.4e3bc4b2dfb047a380a3b4ca035db5ca.jpeg81C57849-1C78-4281-8571-6F31447B90ED.thumb.jpeg.a21a5aa01c2767b3be09d6f6d6ee10fd.jpegDC4473CB-B6E7-46F3-B462-12F2EFBCE77B.thumb.jpeg.c1d0decafeb772ed9903e64da0d3c68a.jpegC624D31A-B386-4913-B94B-C9C544E68AB9.thumb.jpeg.ee1ccd07ab6491ae0f31820f7985ce04.jpegCD49DBDC-45B7-40A4-A038-92CBFA0A9A16.thumb.jpeg.801caab6d5a939f5ca94f04e5649c084.jpeg

Love the old style inscription!  And a Great save!!

I have a lot of oldies similar and after researching several I was only able to locate one owner. Its tough tracking down after many years. Luckily the guy was well documented on several things and his marriage. If I remember correct it was around the same date as yours.

Simply a stunning piece of history!  Love the simplicity of the band and the beautiful calligraphy inscribed inside.  Having a date as well as initials is priceless.  Great dig!!!

Beautiful ring! I remember that post. 👍

Love how dirty/dusty your D2 is in the photos. 😀 Now that it's winter the low sun angle and dust make it hard to read the screen. 😏 Doesn't matter much, walking around the target helps with that. 😀

Almost 10g! My D2 14k find was only about 5. 👍

That sure did look nice peeking out from the dirt !

When the detector went over it , did it go honk instead of beep ?

There was a lot of square nails around it I found it near a structure that burnt down. I remember I had to wiggle the coil over it to get it to really lock on but it was a much higher VDI than you would expect I can’t remember the exact number but it is in my original post.
