Nice! But whatever you posted as a link is in a foreign language…….
 
Sorry, I couldn't find the link in English. The ones I've found are mostly auction links. I tried to translate the texts. General information about money;
50 Kuruş Meskûk (Qurush Mesquq) published in 1293/29; It is one of the coins of the Ottoman Empire. The coin number (29) and 'year' are written on the obverse side of the coin under the monogram of Sultan Abdulhamid II, on the reverse side there is the inscription 'printed in the Constantinople mint' and the numeral (1293) which is the date of the sultan's accession to the throne. It is made of gold mine. These coins weigh an average of 3.6 grams and are 18.02 millimeters wide. 24244 copies were printed in the Constantinople mint. Not rare coins.

I’d be jumping for joy finding a gold coin and gold ring! Congratulations on two beautiful treasures!!
 
So... you find a gold coin and a gold ring....and got one single response that is terrible....
GREAT finds thanks for posting... maybe a few others could respond..

over 125 views... these forums have changed over the years...
I agree
 
I saw the post initially, but with lack of much info I couldn't determine if the things were found with a detector or maybe even purchased. Not to many responses, so I must not be alone.

Anyway, great recoveries. Where and how? A little info would be nice. HH Jim Tn
 
When he first posted it was in a foreign language….. unless one could read and understand what was being said one had no idea what was being said.
