I was able to get out hunting for only the second time this month. I was working an older park in Oklahoma City and located an area away from the normal traffic with one large tree. As I began searching around it I began getting numerous hits. Within about thirty minutes I had pulled over $2.00 in clad from the ground all less than 1" deep (about 50 coins).
I decided to grid the area because this seemed like a strange place for a spill. Anyhow about 20 feet from the area where I found the clads I got a strong signal at 4" for nickel/pulltab/gold. Since I had found so much coin already, I thought "what the heck". I pulled a 3" plug and got the signal in the plug. Broke the plug in half and BAMM!!! This is my first gold on anykind. When I first saw the ring I thought it might be a childs toy. I cleaned up great and shows to be a 1/20th Troy Oz Panda coin ring. The date on the back of the coin is 1990.
This was a really good signal on my Ace 250 that showed 4 inches. I am really stoked and of course we now have five days of freezing weather that will keep me indoors dreaming of my next find.
Final Thought: Now when people stop me when I am hunting and ask "Find any gold??" I can answer "Not yet today"
