A friend of mine has an MXT and has never gone beyond the
factory recommended setting in Coin Mode. Joe and I have tried,
But he just wouldn't budge.
The other day he told me he hadn't detected for quite awhile. I
told him that I could make it interesting for him if he would let
me show him how to adjust his machine a little differently. He
agreed.
I had to put an "Emergency" phone call in to the local MXT Wizard,
ya'll know him as Civilman. Civilman told me how to set the machine
up the way he does, and then had to tell me how to ground
balance it. I had only used an MXT once, for about five minutes.
My friend and I met, I set up the machine, And we started hunting
his back yard.
While explaining what was going on and what to listen for, I swung
and my friend dug. After a few pennies, a toothpaste tube, and 4
pulltabs I got a signal in the pulltab range that was not bouncing.
Much to our delight, a 1968 class ring come out of the hole.
I wish you all could have seen the look on his face as he yelled,
"It's GOLD! I found my first gold ring!"
After all, it was his yard, his detector, and his lesson.
We have called the school and are working with them to find the
owner of the ring. My friend insists on returning it as soon as
possible.
I have found a few goldrings, but none were that enjoyable!!!

Howard and I found a 1968 class ring that ended up being from a scool in Philipi,
West Virginia.
I put some calls in to the school and was able to find out that the owner had a
sister that still lived in town. Got the owners name and phone number and called
him today. Boy was he shocked!
The story is, that he lost the ring in a bathroom (washing his hands) in Washington,
D.C. in 1970!
He was not only amazed that we found it, but even more amazed that we were
willing to hunt him down and return it.
I will be mailing it off tomorrow. Case, SOLVED!
He did ask that I include my phone number and email address so that he could
send me a photo of the reunion. LOL!
Here is a photo of the ring.
