Finally Found A Gold Ring
|
|
|
|
|
After over 2 years of detecting with my Ace 250, I finally stumbled across my first gold ring on Sunday.
A buddy and I were hunting school playgrounds and doing pretty good coin-wise. Then we started finding a ring here and a ring there. Total was about $8 in coins and 5 rings. He found a sweet little silver/turquoise ring and I snagged a little kid's 10k gold ring with a little CZ stone. I found a .925 silver ring quite a while back and have been waiting and working towards the gold.
Now, if I can just get out and swing my Eureka Gold beeper over a nugget or 3!!

P.S. I found 3 rings, he found 2.
Seek and ye shall find. Beep and ye shall dig!!

TX Kajun, That's the neat thing about metal detecting, you never know when or where you will find something, or what it will be!!! If you keep it up, the gold and rings will come!!!
Congratulations, on the "find"...

Thanks, ya'll. First of anything is kinda "special" I think. So even though this is a really smally kid's ring, it still got me all aquiver. I've found quite a few rings since I started, but it seems like they come in "herds". My detecting buddy and I will go out for weeks and find coins, junk, buttons, more junk but no rings. Then, wham! We'll find 3-5 all at once. *shrug* Dunno why, maybe they're just social things?? ![Confused [*-)]](/forum/emoticons/emotion-42.gif)
Anywho, thanks for the nice comments. I ain't been posting for a while cuz nothing worth posting til now. Bout all the excitement was taking my found clad and turning it into silver at the last gun show.
Good luck, ya'll!

I was told that after you find your first gold ring, that all the rest come easy.
Not so!!! The first of anything is special, though.
