    22k GOLD RING ! #126 FOR THE YEAR

    Got out for a 1 hour hunt today before night work in San Francisco . Hunted a park not more than a mile from my house . This park has never given up gold in the 16 years I have hunted it , today that ended in a big way ! The very last target before walking to my truck I had a +32 at three inches . I thought just more trash , but no not this time . I saw the edge of a gold ring and it was dark gold ! It turned out to be my first ever 22k gold ring ! It's a signet ring with the letter R and weighs 8.1 grams . It has three hallmarks but the only one I can make out is the 22K mark . I tested it just to make sure and it pasted . #126 ring of the year is a keeper .
