    A Little Gold Today

    Got out to my favorite local school early today a got a 18K gold ring at 4 inches. VDI'd at 14, I thought it would be the usual pull tab, when I saw gold I knew it was something good. Got a pocket full 'o clad and 3 wheats as well. Happy Hunting all

    Re: A Little Gold Today

    Oh yeah... gold!! <:
    A very nice karat value too. Sure must have been nice
    seeing that in the dirt. As I am picking away at my wish list for
    the year, I know sooner or later I'm going to have to go all out
    on the pull tab signals. It's the only way I'll be able to cross it off my list.
    Congrats on the beauty and wheats mike.
