Hello from Australia. Hi all, dropped my daughter off at her part-time job this morning then went for a short hunt at a nearby beach with my new partner's son. As with a lot of beaches around, it was a bit sanded in so wasn't expecting much.. A couple of low areas only produced ring pulls and other light trash so I moved over to some exposed rocks and got a diggable signal...I couldn't believe it when this showed up in the scoop. At first I thought it was junk as it had that 'plastic' gold look to it. My eyes aren't the best without glasses, so when we got back to the fourby I used the magnifier on my phone....and there they were. Two stamps....AJD (American Jewellery Design I think), and 916. First gold ring for the Equinox is 22k....wooohooo! It's been so long since I found gold....can't get the smile off my face 😎.
(Oh yeah, the men's silver ring was found a few minutes later).

Now that is one nice ring. Question; What program and around what VDI #'s and tone, just curious in regards to the EQ. (They are BOTH nice rings in fact)

VERY nice digs, sir!

As sprailroad asked, I'd also be curious as to the VDI on that ring...

Thanks for the replies, appreciated. The ring is only small but weighs 3.4 grams. The TID was jumping between 13-14 in amongst the rocks, then 15 when out.

Darwoody -- SO, a tad bit above a nickel; in other words, RIGHT smack-dab in the middle of pull-tab range, of course! ???

Nice job digging that one!
