First gold and she's a biggy!
So today I went and hit a local baseball field. I was hoping for a ring so I was digging every signal. Not much at first, then I had a bouncy high tone that was barely audible but decided to dig it. About 7 inches down out popped a 1943 silver quarter. Didn't think this field was that old so totally unexpected. Not long after I dug my first dollar coin. Not silver but I've been hoping to find one since I started swinging. At this point I was pretty happy with my day. I had a little time left to swing so on I went digging every repeatable tone that I came across. Finally, I had tone bouncing between 60-67 reading 5 inches down. Dug a plug and popped it out. Started to peel the plug apart and could see the edge of something that didn't look like the typical pull tab. When I finally freed it up I couldn't believe my eyes. 1959 10k class ring. My first gold ever. It's been a long time coming!!! Thousands of pull tabs finally pay off. The ring has initials on it so I am now on a return mission. It's a little bitter sweet that my first gold may leave my hands, but returning it will be a treasure of it's own.
