I headed out early this AM to a spot I have hit many times but is very trashy. I have been talking about trying to dig gold signals and seeing my buddy's new Fisher GoldBug I thought today was the day. I went to an area I had killed and started digging 16-40 VDI signals on the MXT. After about 20 or so pull tabs I got a good 24 signal along the walk. I decided to dig and I am glad I did. I flipped the plug and found a nice 10K ring. It is old, worn, been repaired and has initials on the inside ?.V.B in script. It is clearly marked 10K and the initials on the front seem backwards...Strange? It looks like a backwards "J". I just knew there was gold out there. I did find two other rings, both toy. Unfortunately digging all the pull tabs is a killer and it was really hot out there. I gave up and went back to max discrimination. Found a bunch of glad including 5 nickels which is a nickel record for me out there. The link below is the video of my digging the ring.

Might be a wax seal ring. That would explain the backwards "J"
 

Here's one for "W.S."
