Back to the same old spot tonight all charged up by the incredible finds I have been seeing as of late on this forum and I was blown away by the first target of the night , a 10-FOIL-RING on the ID , yes , the mighty MXT ALL PRO was right .The ring was about 4" deep . I also dug up two clad pocket spills and lots of trash .Thanks for looking and H H .
Sweet gold find!!!:groovy:
Congrats!!:grin:
Nice job straightening it!:thumbsup01:
Did you use a mandrel?
Congrats on the gold! Got some nice spills too! :groovy:

Thanks for the kind words Digger .
That's the first time I ever got two pocket spills in dirt . I've done it at the beach a couple times .
Sweet gold!
That is a gorgeous ring. Does the "P" stand for pinpointer? great finds WD
Sweet ring! I have found that my first target of the hunt has been the best find on several hunts lately as well. Strange how that goes.
Sweet gold !
Awesome George! It's nice to get a good find right away.
WTG on the gold. Any hallmarks? My guess 1920's
Thanks Bucknut , sweet it is .
Thanks Wisconsin Digger , I'm going to say the "P" stands for pretty .
Thanks Skamaniac , I enjoy those nice finds that come on the first or early part of the hunt , It's a nice feeling knowing that if something or someone puts a halt to your trip your already going home with something good .
Thanks Glen , It was a nice surprise .
Thanks Drew , it sure is .
Thanks Rebel , there's some marks but they are small . Too small for my magnifying glass and I've misplaced my loupe ( my man cave is showing some signs of being inhabited by a hoarder ) .If I get an ID I will post it . 1920's ,Hmmm .................that would be cool .
Thanks for looking and commenting and Happy Hunting to all .
Nice score on some gold. You did good enough with straightening. Altho it is good to find stuff right away, it's better to continually find good things throughout the hunt. Altho, when things start dropping off makes it easier to leave.
Nice!
Anything yellow is just great.
:shocked02::wow: look at you !!! congrats on the pretty yellow ring CT and it looks like it has some age to it too!! :notworthy:
Gold in the hole, It don't get any better than that. :congrats:
Congrats on a nice hunt, WTG.
That is a nice hunk of gold! :envious:
Nice au!
