I have had the AT gold for a little over a month and I am 3 silver rings, 1 stainless ring, 1 copper ring (Rose Gold?) and this beauty of a gold ring.
plus 6 silver dimes (4 Mercury 1928-1944) and 6 wheat pennys (oldest 1921)

Love this detector. 100_2643 (1024x764).jpg

A coworker brought in an ultrasonic cleaner, so I thought I would post a couple of cleaned up pictures.
I am still in shock...... 100_2688 (1280x955).jpg 100_2692 (1280x957).jpg 100_2695 (1280x853).jpg

Now that is an impressive ring and the ice sends shivers down my back. I have found diamond rings but that one is a real beauty. Congrats on the great find.

Amazing ring! It may be the best ring you'll ever find, but you'll find plenty of other groovy, interesting items, including rings. Thrill of the hunt! HH Andi

Sorry Tnmountains, I am still working out of town and my wife is afraid to let the jeweler keep the ring to appraise it. My wife is afraid that for some reason she will not get the ring back, and could not prove our ownership since I do not have any paperwork on it.

Have you ever heard of these kind of problems with jewelers?

I hope to take care of it when I get home.

Thought I would give a little update, due to this being the most significant item that I have found metal detecting, in the water or on land.

My wife bought me a diamond tester and a gold test kit.
The diamonds test good and the gold tested at least 14k.
I snuck it out to have it looked at one time, but a mall jewelry store is the only place I stopped.
I told the jeweler my story of how it was found, but he probably thought it was stolen.
The jeweler looked at it for a few minutes and offered me $3,500 for the ring.
Needless to say, my wife wears it almost every day.

Good luck to all.

I have returned several rings.
Most of them were requests to help find their lost wedding rings while I was detecting at the beach.
Luckily, I have always been able to find them.
Its nice to give back something that means so much to someone.
