I spent four hours in the lake, ten minutes into it I found the ring. I was just in the same place the other day where I found the gold chain. With my new Excalibur II there were ten times more targets to dig, ha. About eighty targets, I like this minelab, wish there was a way to set the threshold and then TURN DOWN THE VOLUME. Haaaaaaaaaaaa, if I keep finding stuff like this, it won't be hard to get used to. Its going much deeper. Ring is 10 K gold filled sterling, has a date and initials "MB to BS 5/31/71
The Merc is a well loved 1925
Enjoy the pix

Congrats on the Sterling bling and Merc. Great finds.
 

Nice, your tearing it up. Looks like you'll gong to be very busy.
 

Great digs with the new machine. I'm looking into getting a water machine. The Deus is good machine but not for water. Every time I put it in water it screams like CT did.
 

A Great start with the new girl, it's really tuff to go from one machine to the next but you did very well. I can tell, Your in love. Good Work, And Congrads on the New Machine...

I think you should go back to De Beach..It might awaken with the new machine...
 

Now thats alot of digging! !!
Looks like this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship. .
Good digs Brad.
 

Man, that's a lot of targets Brad. Looks like it likes you!

I was only in a five foot by twenty foot area today, I'll be busy there for a long time! Thanks

I'll still be using my Deus, hopefully they will come up with a hard case like an otter box, that one program is great at finding chains. Thank you.

Thanks George, it really is a great addition to my arsenal.

I thought it was going to be allot more complicated then it is. Becky was always talking about hers, now I know why.
I still have to check those nickels yet, might be another you know what in there!
 

Nice haul! Looks like the new machine is treating you nice
 

Hey nice finds! Any day with a Merc is good in my books, and you got a ring too.

You're inspiring me to bust out the ATPro and find some water. In the four years I used it, I never had it in water...
 

Nice ring! If only it was solid 10k, but sterling is always a welcomed find too :thumbsup:

We can do that this fall, Got my OCMD summer rental coming up July 1 to Sept 30, 2 bed rm ..your more then welcome anytime (except GF time) ..after sept we can start raiding in that boat of yours...

I really like being in the water, thanks

Hell if we are wishing, if it was only 24 K solid, or better yet a truck load of gold bricks, lol ha When I cleaned that one up even my son said wow. Its a pretty one, guess I like the design.

I might be headed down with the boat Mon, want to see the forecast Sun, winds will be a factor with that little skiff. I hope you come hit the lake with me, now or this fall which ever?
