    Finally Gold!

    Not wanting to bore you guys with all the costume jewelry or small silver rings I have found I have been hesitant on putting my finds up against the awsome relics and coins I see and enjoy on this site each day. However, gold is another story all together. Found my first gold ring yesterday. A 14K mens wedding ring weighing in at 8 grams. Waist deep and about 12 inches down with my Tesoro Sand Shark. I knew the Shark had it in her. Hopefully the start of a beautiful relationship.

    It sure is nice to see the yellow metal at the bottom of the scoop. That's a nice hefty one. thumbsup01

    Congrats on your first gold with the Tesoro I can only imagine the first thought you had when you realized you finally got one As Del said, post away any of your hunts. If I can show my junk finds from my cellar hole adventures, you can show just about any of your finds lol Gold helps you bond with any new machine I hope you continue to get some deep, good finds

    You got to love it when you see the gold. Fantastic recovery. I'm with you when you mention the other stuff that's retrieved over the course of locating the REAL goodies. It's well worth it to have the patience to dig all those type signals to get a keeper. Great job. Happy dance all around.
