Ring spill turns into a heart breaker

[Truth]

Well guys I went to City Park in New Orleans and went to find me some old silver or old lead. Well not sure what’s going on with the equinox it’s not hitting deep lead or silver after testing it, but I did get a deep 1919 wheatie at 9” and another wheatie. So I went to where I see people put up hammocks in this area of pine trees to look for some rings and I was getting some high and mid signals, so I dug of course and it was a ring spill!! The first one looked like a junker, but to my surprise it was a 925, so I was happy as heck. Then the pin pointer was still hitting something else which I figured mid tone pull tab and I pulled out the other ring my head said GOLD WITH HUGE DIAMOND!!!! Nope junker!!! My heart dropped....what a crazy hobby we live in.

First ring

Second ring ((

Nice ring spill! Heartbroken or not still great finds.
I would have shown them to my wife with a big grin on my face.
Only to see her reaction. Then tell her its a big fat faker
She makes fun of me but I told her as soon as I get a diamond ring she has to stop lol

I tried to sell it a real and I’m a great actor.....she immediately knew it was fake even with the weight it has. I’ve obviously spoiled her over the years. Lol

I agree with Oddjob. I’m tired of digging pull tabs. Would take the fake rings any day.

Hi, nice finds. The rings look real nice.

 

[No gold in NY]

They are still nice finds Truth. Don't get down. Could be worse as my main spot has dried up. Not even a friendship ring in over a year. Maybe I need to upgrade to a Nox.

 

[Trezurehunter]

They both look good to me !

still, the sudden rush of possible real gold gets the old heart to thumping. Then you remind yourself, "one of these days it'll be real!"

Bling Sting! Strikes again. At least you got some silver out of it.
