I almost ended the day thinking it was a flop. Drove about 15 miles to one potential soccer park to see that it was TO nice to dig up. It was under "soccer rejuvenation" & was a Hispanic field in a VERY Hispanic neighborhood & being the white-boy I am, I didn't feel like dying today. Needless to say, I left.
Then I went to a local small park. About a 1/2 acre of grass & a little league baseball field. 2.25 cents & about 3 hrs later I went home for lunch, then to my tried & true 3 acre local park. This park tends to get me clad after clad after clad. First time I hit this place I got 19 quarters in 2 hrs a& a bunch of other denominations. SO this time I decided to slow down and go after pretty much every hit since it's a fairly clean park. Now I have a Garrett AT Gold & my numbers are usually 45 down is trash. 45-55 is a tab. 55 to 60 usually a nickle, 60-69 tabs/trash. 70 to 82 penny, 80 to 85 dime & a loud 83+ tends to be a quarter or dollar.
Anyways, I hit anything that had a 45 up.
Tab, tab, tab, foil, trash, tab tab.. etc.....As my patience was wearing thin I hit another 45. I just wish I would of taken the digger a little more gently. Out comes a 14k ring with an opal & small diamonds around it. Score. I was/am pretty stoked. May not be that 5000.00 engagment ring I'm looking for but it's better than a damn penny.

Great find man...haven't found any gold yet. Can't wait to see that come out of the ground, doubt myself and then look closely to make the confirmation lol. More to come for us both...I don't think we'll have a problem digging tabs for a while!

You got to love that thrill of the first real good ring, Found about 7-10 gold plated stuff before finding a
a solid 10K gold ring at a beach, I remember mine vividly... Good for you Jeep! Hope you get some more plunder!
