Gold ring!

[JeffInMass]

Took a trip to an old favorite site, a large old park near a beach that I have hunted dozens of times. This place has yielded hundreds of old coins including an 1836 Capped Dime and several large cents, but NEVER did I find gold there.....until today! Finds were few, so I was digging essentially anything that I knew wouldn't be iron. Probably my fifth signal of the day, pulled some dirt out of the hole and saw what looked like a gold edge. How many times has that gold edge been the edge of a pulltab, so I figured just another one, but this one seemed thicker. Tossed the dirt on the ground and this baby fell out!

I couldn't wait to get it home and rinse it off- so sweet to see 14K stamped inside! Weighs in at just under .25 oz. First gold ring since 2007, so I'm stoked about this one!

Also added an 1864 Indian and worn slick King George Copper.

Enjoy the pics and HH all!

Hi,

Been over this park at least 20 times, but this is probably the first or second (maximum) time that I've been through it with my SE Pro and Ultimate coil combo- I simply cannot believe how much I find with this set up that I previously missed with my XS and stock coil- scary!

What does this Ultimate coil look like, pictures please Jeff

Hi C&RMan= check out this link:

When it comes to finding coins in or near junk, for a 13" coil, it's amazing!

Feel free to PM me if you need any more info. HH Jeff

Erik,

Do you think this has some value other than the gold bullion? I found something on the web that the insignia may be from the Five Colleges Astronomy Department in Western Mass.

I was thinking of moving it with the price of gold going up so much today!

PLEASE DON'T !!!

If you were local I'd Gladly take it off your hands 20% over spot.

Davers, thanks for the feedback- I'm gonna hold onto it, but if I change my mind, I'll let you know. BTW- love your paragraph- if you check my avatar, I found that crucifixion medal on Good Friday, 2004. Never take it off and have a tattoo of it on my arm. I also have a tattoo that is Acts 14:22- Stand Firm in the Faith...
