Today we continued the grind field & managed to cover 5 acres in 5 hours! Lots of junk clearing.
Only real good find was a Gold Wedding Band & to our surprise (although the thought crossed our mind, it being a modern ring) the farmer stated he had lost it 15 years ago whilst fixing a tractor, the misses went mental...
We said we would take it home, clean it, photo it & return to him on Monday.:thumbsup:

Looks like the ring got "plowed" or something. Thanks for photographing it, and letting the farmer have it back (on Monday). Honorable Mention seems to be in order...

Great job Cru. Must have been a great feeling. I returned a ring once and found a tree coin a few weeks later. Hope you're rewarded with the same kind of karma

Yeap, it will need a jeweler to straighten it.

With 23 banner finds I guess you could call that a day of junk cleaning. Lol
Congrats on the gold ring and return!! Maybe your next hunt you'll see how karma works.

I really like the fact that you told the farmer you would take it, photo it, clean it, and return on Monday, and he trusted you to do just that. Honest folks trusting one another and everybody wins.

Congrats on the find, and making the farmer and his wife so happy. May your next gold find be of the hammered variety!

We build trust with all our farmers, so it's earned not given. Remember we only recently told him about the 1881 Gold Coin, the 2nd gold coin from his land. We will, if time permits show him that coin as well on Monday. (Along with all the other finds)

Excellent hunt Cru,,
Congratulations on your Honorable Mention, , you earned it.

Which one?
Jeff normally doesn't give them without proof (picture of me handing to farmer). No way I'm asking the owner to do that, it would expose us both to unwanted attention.
I'm just happy I could add another great story to our detecting career. The ring meant nothing to me, & everything to him, easy choice/no brainer in my eyes.
