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!!!

those signals you start not to dig especially when you are tired are the ones that reward you for your endurance. Congratulations and I love the design on that ring and glad you found your first gold. Hope you find many more.

In 9 years of MDing, I've found 3 gold rings, 1 of which was very valuable and sold for a good amount. I have no idea how many silver rings...dozens though. They are out there and it's always a shock to dig one. Nice finds !

I dig everything between 38 +/- and 66+/-. Gold (and junk) hide in this region! Over the years I have been rewarded with very nice finds.
