Got out the first 3 days of 2015 and had some success :laughing7: . Total clad for about 9 hours of hunting is $39.67 ! The rings are all junk :BangHead: , but the first gold of the year happened today ! It is a first for me , gold is gold right ?
I had a +74 target at 3 inches . When I got to the target I saw a tiny shiny item and a clad dime . As it turned out the tiny item is a gold tooth :laughing7: . It still has the tooth in it :laughing7: . It tested 18K , I'll take it :thumbsup: . Now on to better and bigger gold and silver ! Other two good finds were two wheats , 1957 and 1958D .

Would've liked to see the expression on your face when your realized what your first 2015 gold was! :dontknow: :laughing7: 18k not bad!

Those junk rings are just teasers to get you revved up for many quality rings you'll dig this year. Have Fun & keep us posted. Andi

Nice gold Glen. I dug a gold crown at the back of a sandy beach in the Sierras this summer. I have two brothers that are dentist. I showed it to them and they stated that modern era gold crowns made in this country are typically 18 to 20 carat in purity. Gold is gold. Good job. Your off and running.
