Whites DFX
I got out to a new park today. Fired up the dfx and instantly started getting quarter signals one after another. I knew I was at a site that has never been hunted! Nickel, quarter, dime, quarter, pendant, quarter, ... I was only out for 15 minutes when I got the first ring. Steel with a gigantic fake diamond. Pretty cool. Another pendant. At least 15 more quarters. First pulltab 30 minutes in. Right next to that hole, another pulltab sound. 27 vdi and SOLID. Too loud. Like a pulltab on steroids. Thought for sure pulltab. Almost didn't dig, but I did. When it came out I only saw one little side of it in the clump, thought it was one of those old style pulltabs. Then I saw the yellow. Time slowed down for a minute as I knocked the dirt off one of the best rings of my life. 16 diamonds and a gigantic sapphire, in 14k. I threw off my headphones and did two somersaults. Seriously. Made my whole week.

If your detector had not paid for itself, It is paid for now, probably more than once. LOL

Congrats on a spectacular find.


I am still waiting for MY somersault moment. ;D :D ;D

I'm trying to envision the somersault. If you are an old guy that would have been hillarious to see...
Kinda like that guy on tv that is trying to sell you the back remedy machine he invented where he turns upside down and spins all around.

Nevertheless, Myself being a young and athletically fit I'm sure someone has taped me doing strange jigs in open farming fields before.


Nice find
