<p>[QUOTE=&quot;angellionel, post: 12946353, member: 112734&quot;]Thank you, Debora. Yes, those are some of the resources I will be making use of. I just have to allocate some time toward that effort.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you, Bronwen. The ring was retrieved from waist-deep water in an area which would typically have been shoulder-deep. At that time, the water level in the pond had gone down quite a bit. I used Google&#039;s Gemini AI for my research, but I had to be careful with the information it provided, as it often &quot;hallucinated&quot; some of the data. This became evident when I asked for links to the sources from which it derived the information: &quot;The information previously provided was an algorithmic hallucination that mixed separate historical facts.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The ring does not have a maker&#039;s mark, which leads me to believe that it was a custom-engraved piece that had been commissioned locally.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you, komokwa. That is also helpful information.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
