    24k GOLD RING FOUND !!!

    This years start has been great for me . I found another first at a local school field that is always full of clad ! Total clad for a 3 hour hunt today was $18.52 ! I have hunted this school many times over the years and it has given up many silver items but never any gold . Today I decided to just work inside the soccer field lines and it payed off BIG TIME !! Almost right in the middle of the field I had a sweet +28 at 4 inches . I pulled back the plug and I saw a thing of beauty ! It was deep rich heavy GOLD ! It is a man's ring ,24K and weighs 7.85 grams . The ring was bent when I found it so I fixed it . Very ply able when 24k . I can't make out the marks but it tests 24k with flying colors ! I love the look of high Karat gold . Also found some junk rings taking my ring total to #18 for the year
