He'll all,
I'm new to this site and new to metal detecting and I want to share this story.

Back in January of this year I decided to get into this fascinating hobby and I purchased a new CTX3030. I have a small commercial property in Oakville ON and a few weeks ago I decided to try it out there. Well, to my surprise I found a penny, 2 dimes and a nickel amongst some trash too. I had the opportunity to detect on my property again yesterday and after an hour or so I dug up a beautiful 10k gold Masonic ring. I was shocked to say the least!!!

Welcome egghead! I have been at it for some time and still no gold ring... Perhaps I should check my own yard a little closer! Congrats on your find and for finding this great hobbie!

Welcome to Tnet! Nice find on the ring! The detective work finding the person who lost it can be a lot of fun too. Good Luck!

I will upload a pic as soon as I figure how to do it. I'm using an ipad and might have to do it from a PC. Sent from my iPad using TreasureNet

Thank you.

We have a Mason Chapter in Oakville and I am going to contact someone there regarding this. I am fascinated about local history and that was a big attraction to the hobby of metal detecting for me.

Thanks. The biggest challenge is finding the time to metal detect between running a business, home life and weather conditions.
