I tie my summer gold record with six gold rings! No gold found in Aug. The last week of July was a happy time for me as I found three rings! I posted one of them showing a 14K Artcarved band.Over the years you might have heard me mention hoping to find my first Plat....well it happen 6.6 grams recent drop. After that find, The next day I hit the JACKPOT....a class ring!! This is sure a once in a life time find. In the video you will see how heavy it is! It took two scoops. The first scoop I took a big bite using the STEALTH 8”. The 2nd scoop was like half of it because I knew it was only 2-3" down. Finding those two rings and having it video is priceless! Enjoy

when you saw that honker it's classic how fast you snatch it out of the scoop - I always tell myself to savour the moment but I whip them out too - just instinct I guess! - top treasures.........

Congrats on your first Plat and way to go on that super sized class ring. When I find something like that I say "there's not chance in heck that it's real". Well not exaclty what I say, but when I check it out with the loupe and acid test I'm doing the happy dance again. Yay baby way to go!!!
