    I had to do a HAPPY DANCE today

    Hidy to all . Here is the other stuff I found today other than the bullets . And no laughing at my dance . I just cant dance , I did have a BIG old grin on my face . How about that IDX- BB- and NS and all you ring finders . I found one , I found one Ha . My first big one too . Or I guess it is gold it looked just like this when it came out of the ground . and still had a big wad of tape on the bottom of it . VDI of 55 and 5 in. deep . I did clean it up and polished it a little . But dont know much about rings that I find since I dont do rings . Other than mine that have been in a safe for years and dont even wear them . So here it is The silver dollar was in a plastic case about 4 in. deep and started not to dig because I got a overload signal , had my gain at 14 on relics mode . But I had to do or try the dance ha . So you ring folks , is it real or not ? Hope yall enjoy and good luck !

    Two amazing finds! I've never heard of anyone finding an ASE. <: I love those coins.
    Even better is that incredible ring. The thing is a huge chunk of gold.
    Very well done sir.

    lol lol lol
    Love the dance pic

    I can't figure the ring out. At first glance it looks like a class ring and I am pretty sure the company marked on the inside is a class ring company. Usually rings like that don't have real stones but the gold is sure worth something these days.

    Definitely some great finds! I would be dancing too. happydance02 happydance02

    Re: I had to do a HAPPY DANCE today

    Now that is some fine detecting |) |) Congrats on the 1 ounce silver and that ring is stunning. If it is a class ring, it is one of the nicest I have seen. Not too many kids opt for real gold theses days. Usually I would say the diamonds are just cubic zirconia, but in this case they may be real too. If you know a jeweler that you can trust, have him take a look at it for you. He can test the diamonds right in front of you. Great finds and one mighty fine dance too

    Hidy Cnut . I took the ring to two places , One said the rocks were real the other said he didnt thank so . Same thing about being a class ring one said yep the other said no . One thing they were for sure of was they both asked me 4 times befor I could get out the door to sell it to them . One oferd me 400. for it . I steel and found who it belong too . Steel looking . Good luck hunting in those find looking hills.

    Now you know it's worth something if they wouldn't let you leave lol It is a nice, nice find. If you never get a chance to find the owner, it will still look good at your place too
