Hiya ALL,
Well I DID IT.!!!! I STRUCK GOLD.!!!!
My first GOLD ring and I'm over the moon about it.!!!
I LOVE this hobby.!!!
I had a couple of hours to kill before work so i went down to the new beach i've been going to for a few days now, where i've been having quite a bit of luck. Lots of Euros in change and my 3rd Silver ring too.
I was digging what i thought was the usual Ringpull and i got to about 4" and there it was.!!....... THE INFAMOUS RINGPULL. I was correct. I'm getting quite used to the signals on my Ace250 now, but as many people on here have said, " You need to dig a few ringpulls and trash to get to the TREASURE ".
Anyway, I bagged the ringpull for throwing away in the bins later but as usual i swung the searchcoil over the spot again just in case there was anything else i'd missed.
Low and behold there was still a strong signal coming from the sand and soil i'd dug out of the hole. I thought it was going to be the rest of the can or another bit of trash, So I ran my fingers through the soil carefully and there it was.!!!! Bright, yellow and as shiny as you like. I grabbed it and cleaned it and it came out just as you see it in the photo below.
I couldn't believe it.!!! i wanted to shout out " Eureka " but the thought of being in a padded Cell for the night didn't really appeal to me, so i held it in till i got back to the car.
While i was doing my armchair disco dance in the car, I think the people walking past me thought i was having a fit or something because i got a few funny looks, but i didn't care, i had found my FIRST GOLD RING.!!!!
I also found another ?4.60 in change which needs a good clean so i haven't taken a photo of that, but that brings my total Euros to just over ?35
My ring count is now, 1 GOLD, 3 Silver & 1 cheapie Toe ring.
God i love this hobby.!!!! Did i say that already.
hehehehee. Guess i'm just a bit exited.
I love my ACE 250 too.!!! it's GREAT.!!
Anyway all the very best wishes to you all and i hope everyone else has just as much or even more luck than i've had in the last few weeks.
Take care all and happy hunting too,
From a VERY happy hunter,
Ray.
P.S.
By the way, it is a 14 Karat gold, Gents heavyweight Oval shaped Signet ring......... AND I LOVE IT.!!!
My Mum said " it fits ME.!!! " but i said SORRY, NO WAY.!!! it's my first gold, but i did tell her that IF i find a nice ladies diamond ring, then she can have that one instead.!!! of course she said " YEAH OK "
TTFN Byeeee for now.
