    Found a GOLD ring today and my detector broke !!! Rings #38 & #39

    I did some digging the last two day . Yesterday only clad ( $17.49 ) and two wheats , 1945 & 195 . Today was a gold and bad day . My friend Ryan , Carson my Son and I hunted a school field hoping for gold and silver . We found it ! I found a nice 14K gold ring with 13 small diamonds happydance02 . Ryan found a small 10K ring and a nice 925 silver bracelet . Total clad for myself is $12.32 and my Son Carson found $1.18 . This hunt would have been great but here comes the bad . My Whites M6 is broken >:{ . I'll need to send it off to Whites and get it fixed . The tone ID and depth toggle is broken and stuck . I knew it would happen due to it being very loss lately . So for now I'll need to use my old trusty Whites Quantum II . I have had it 15 years and it keeps on going thumbsup01 .

    Nice gold recovery!!! I wish i could find that much clad let alone a diamond ring.
    Sorry to hear about your baby needing to go in for repair. Hope she comes back all fixed up and ready to find more gold!

    Call whites and tell them about the switch. They might just send you a new one free they have me and they are pretty easy to change. In the future if your switch gets sticky use dry graphite lube it does the trick. Will take less time to do it yourself unless you are very close to a service center.Good Luck Yazoo

    Too bad about the M6 but at least it hung in there so that you could get the gold. Nice looking ring.
