Lets see where to start,
About 2 years ago, I bought a Tesoro Compadre, When I got it I spent all of 15 minutes putting it together, and then using it at my parents house. Then It got put away in a closet there, because a bid I put in to buy my own house was just accepted.
So here it is 2 years later and I'm all settled in my old 1910 farm house kinda in the city. And it dawned on me, this house been here a long time, theirs gotta be some old coins around this place, so I retrieved the forgotten pretty much new Compadre and started searching the yard for old coins. After a few days of searching finding old things, like suit case buckles (and yes I looked for buried suit case when I found that lol), assorted coins, the oldest being a 1959 penny. A 1950-60's toy cast metal car (VW beetle) assorted hot wheels. And 1 Big brass weight, I think it was surveys pendulum weight, and 50 1970's style pull taps. I was hooked lol.
So I ordered my self a Tesoro Silver Umax, figuring it was little better unit can probably go a bit deeper and maybe find them old silver coins I'm looking for.
Few days later it came by ups and since i had the day off, I had time to put it together and go out and the yard and try it out. And after about 20 minutes of digging up vary s pieces of aluminum siding scrap and them damn pull taps.
I was about to go back inside and get some lunch, when the Silver umax chimed again, Figuring it was other one of them damn pull taps, I hummed and hoed over whether to dig it up. Curiosity won over so I dug it up.
And I could not believe my eyes when I saw it there in the hole about 3 inchs down. No way that was real not in my own damn back yard, I pull it out and clean it off. It had a date of 2-14-81 and a nice 14k stamp on it.
I musta sat there and stared at this thing for 5 minutes before I filled the hole back in.
A mens 14k gold ring, a pretty heavy one at that.
Few days later I had it checked out by one of the better jewelers.
About 11 grams of gold, and .25 carrot diamond in it.
They offered me 600$ for it. I put it in safety deposit box for now save it for a rainy day.
But yeah now I'm hooked for sure, since theirs so many little lakes and steams around me I could not resist, Tiger shark otw.
