<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MrNate, post: 329705, member: 5515&quot;]Here’s another ring which used bKt after the purity (i’m guessing you already saw this), this might be a good clue for dating your ring. I suspect it has a good amount of age, and any detectorist worth his salt knows that an 18kt ring comes out of the ground nearly as shiny as the day it went in.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://treasure-detectors.com/2015/03/28/celebrating-a-100th-wedding-anniversary/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://treasure-detectors.com/2015/03/28/celebrating-a-100th-wedding-anniversary/" rel="nofollow">http://treasure-detectors.com/2015/03/28/celebrating-a-100th-wedding-anniversary/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Some sights mention the B mark may indicate bonded gold, but just looking at it I find this highly unlikely. If a bonded gold ring was bent, you would surely see cracking or fracturing exposing the base metal. Another site suggests that a B mark indicates the source of gold as being from Mexico. It’s a unique mark, hopefully you find a few more similar examples to nail down the time.</p><p><br /></p><p>This post makes me yearn for some digging, my Minelab Explorer Pro sits idly in my basement as I wait for spring...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
