Hello all,,,
The weather got back into the lower 40's today, so, I went to a local park and found my first gold ring.
I had just gotten to the park, set the ground balance on my machine, and within a half swing I get a nice sounding foil signal. It was reading just 2" down and pin-pointing on a very small spot. I pop out a plug about 3" in diameter and re-checked the hole, nothing. I checked the plug and there it was, shinning like crazy. I love it when they do that... :) It's marked 14k and has a very small stone. Not sure if it's real, but it looks like it might be a diamond chip, I'll take it either way...

I didn't stay too long after finding it. The ground is still frozen, and pretty hard, from the single digit temperatures we've had here lately and the ring had already given me my fix for the day. Dug a few pieces of trash and called it quits.

Hope ya all had a great day, & Happy hunting~

That is really great Leon! Congrats! I saw your pic and thought, "I have seen that before...". Mine is gold plated, at best, but the design is very similar (found it at the beach long ago). WTG Leon!

Big congrats Leon, I'll bet the diamond is real being a 14K ring! Super find and nice pics! HH, Mike
 

Nice one, you never forget your first time. Hmmmm, that sounds familiar but not in the realm of MDing. ;) Monty
 

I get happy when I get to dig in the dirt period, a ring is a REAL picker upper! Nice find.
