    First GOLD of 2014 ! Ring #16

    Finally got the gold monkey off my back for 2014 . I'll start with Friday's hunt first . Got out after work and hunted with my buddy Kevin at a local middle school . We hunted maybe 2 hours when I finally got a good target . It was a +81 at 7 inches . I was happy to see my first silver dime of 2014 . It's only a 1963 Rosie but I'll take it . Also found a gold plated chain that had me going for a minute . Other good find was a 1957 wheat cent . Now for this morning . Kevin , Ryan and I got out to a school / park that has been very good to us over the years . Well not more than 20 minutes into the hunt Kevin had found a nice 22k gold Mother Mary pendent and a sterling ring . Then I got a very mixed up target , jumping from +18 to +32 at 8 inches . I thought maybe a older nickel , well it wasn't a nickel . #16 ring of the year is a 10K gold 1946 class ring !!! It weighs 5.1 grams . It does have one letter E inside but no school name on it . This one will go in the treasure chest ! Total clad for both hunts was $16.73 .

    That's wonderful, the only gold ring I have found came this year a few days ago also gave me mixed signals! When I get mixed signals I too think nickel, but I'm hoping for a gold ring. Great finds!
