First gold !!

[Tony M]

We went to my parents house today for a combined. party. My belated birthday and my nephews 1st leave from the Navy. I just so happend to have my XLT with me. As the celebrating wound down,I went out and started detecting the back yard , with my Dad in tow.it didnt take long to start finding the clad.we found .31 cents in about 5 min. after popping out a very coroded penny at about 4 "s I told my dad that it could be a wheatie he took it inside to clean it. I jokingly told him that maybe I would find some GOLD until he got back,He laughed and went inside.The next hit I got was very strong and repeatable at 41/2"s.with a vdi of a solid 55 no matter how I swung the coil the number didnt change.I figured oh well junk or not I was digging it.Long story short out popped my first gold ring 10 K womens band I know my jaw dropped when I saw the gold in the side of the plug.Although I know its not wotth allot . But Oh What A Feeling!!

i found a 10k womens ring and it also rang up in the 50's with my xlt. a lot of my indians i have found ring in the 50's.. i dig all 50's.. i found a 3 cent piece that rang in the 40's. the reason i dug it it was 4 1/2" and pin pointed like a coin and sure enough it was. Nice job hope you find some more

I must be old school - but $80-90 bucks in free $ is good enough for me. I just bought my stainless steel sand scoop from the proceeds I made on my last gold ring.

Year to date - I found four gold items. Two sold for around $180.00 total, one returned and I am holding on to the 1943 class ring.
