WW2 gold!!

[hbru123]

I was metal detecting at a WW2 training base that I have hunted at least 15 times. I was using my Minelab Equinox 600 on this hunt. It was a slow hunt, I was mainly only finding bullet shells and clad. Towards the end of the hunt I got a signal around 16-17. When I popped it out it was in the dirt clod and it looked like another shotgun shell until I broke it open and I saw a anchor that said USN on it!! After some cleaning I found out that it was a ring, I thought it was brass at first but after that I was in for a even bigger surprise. It was my first piece of gold!! It is 10k and it weighs 8 grams. I was on cloud 10 when I saw that! It also dates to WW2. This just proves that a site is never hunted out.
