    First Gold Ring! And another Ring!

    Pretty exciting day for me....went to a local lake beach and found my first Gold! And little while later found what looks to be a Silver ring laying right on top of the sand, that had gold electro plate - we think it might actually have a real little diamond in it.

    He found a spill, but it was zinc pennies - he finally got tired of digging them up. All in all another great day with the AT Pro's!

    A very successful day, I would say. Congrats. Beautiful ring.

    Thank you all. It was a great day, and hopefully we'll give it another go today. It's going to be colder today, so we'll see how long we're out there for. We are waiting for a test kit to arrive to test the other ring, if it is silver it's pretty heavy.
