    Back to the Hobby Gold!

    I have been away from metal detecting for a while and decided to dust off the MX Sport and head out to one of my old swimming hole spots. I've beat this place up many times but I knew there should still be gold here. Did about four hours before my back gave out on this rocky bottom. Here is the take:

    Gold!!!

    The ring isn't flashy but it seems to be a fairly old style. It has some good markings on the inside so I will find out more about it.

    10K is always welcome

    Thanks for looking and I will post if I get back out anytime soon!
    Happy Hunting!
