That's true I didn't mind at all that I dug mostly trash the rest of the day once I had that gold in my pouch :) it was a 10 hour trip after all..

You're welcome :) This one was in ankle deep water right when I was about to go waist deep which is where I usually hunt most of the time.

Love it when the first scoop bears gold... That always makes for a day with a smirk/grin... heh
Puts a little "pep in your step" for the rest of the hunt.

When I find something good like that on the first scoop(s)... first thought that always pops in my head is... Oh crap this is a virgin beach. :P

J.m.k., congrats on that terrific white gold ring find:hello2:

It's a "heavy" , too .....great detecting and timing! Finding treasure so early in a hunt sure makes it fun to continue on for hours.

Thanks Lorraine :) 7g ring in European standard is heavy indeed. The average weight per gold ring I've found is only around 3g. We don't have those heavyweight gold class rings and the like here either. Mostly basic light wedding bands :P So considering the statistics it's like I scored 2 in 1 scoop :laughing7:
