Best thing I found was a small silver ring, worth about 23p in scrap value lol. That was the same day a someone found a Magun .44, the most powerful handgun in the world. Did the finder feel lucky? Not really, he had to sit in the car park till the police arrived to take charge of it.

Some of the chambers looked like they had cartridges in but not sure if they were spent or live rounds.

Here's my 9ct ring. Nothing better than this so far (well except around £50 in modern coins that may worth more than the ring :-) )
