First Ever Gold!!!!!!!! 2015

I went out to the beach today with my Garrett At Pro hoping to find something good to start the year.
I didn't find much, there wasn't much signals around.
I even had trouble finding coins which are usually what I find.
Fed up, I started to pack up to leave to another beach which produced lots before.
Before I left I got a signal... I dug it but it was just a pull tab :(
Some random guy walked by and asked me "did you find anything?"
I replied "no", he laughed and walked away.
A few metres from where i had found that pull tab i get a 47 signal on my AT Pro.
I dug it thinking it was another piece of foil but then.... I saw a ring.
I thought it was just a junk ring but it looked too good to be not made of gold.
So I looked for hall marks and saw a faint 375 mark on it.
It was GOLD!!!!!

So even if you think it's rubbish, just dig it!!!

Congrats, I passed up my first gold a number of times, I finally after hearing the signal numerous times dug it.

Nice going on the gold ring, I know how you feel because I just found my first GOLD ring a couple days ago myself.

You got that RIGHT.

I always get excited when I get a "trash" signal. I've found pretty much ALL of my gold finds that way.

Congrats.
