[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 327610, member: 4485"] Thanks fellas. It very nearly went into the rubbish bag. Thought it was a twisted scrap of metal until I noticed the gold plating. Didn't notice the stone until I washed it off properly. Under the loop it looks to have facets but it's very milky looking. I agree most likely quartz or moonstone. Does make you think about what the story behind it is & how it got to be where it was. I'm going to have to name these diggings "Relic Gully" :lol: Been there twice & no gold but some deep musket balls, buttons + the usual nails etc. then the ring. Gotta be some gold hiding amongst it there somewhere :P [/QUOTE]
