loditom · February 3, 2007 5:06AM

Got out yesterday for a few and hit some tot lot's where I found a 10k wedding band plus a Saq dollar and other clad.

Another day I was out I found this ring that at first I thought was a piece of cut pipe until I saw the writing inside.
This is what it say's: virtus junxit mors non separabit ster.w.b.i.
It's silver and look's to have been plated anybody know what the writing mean's??

and of course what would one of my post be with out posting some more marble find's

Its Masonic, Knights of the templar. Not sure what it means though.

Wow Tom, nice finds! By the way, the inscription reads:
"Whom virtue has united, death shall not separate"

Nice finds again Tom.
In nearly three years of hunting I have only found one clay marble.
Nice job of research and translating Dock , Mary and Jerry.

Thank's for the replie's and also the info on the ring that is cool.

Phut the town we hunt in go's back to the gold rush and was a main supply route to the gold field's here.
