I spent four hours in the lake, ten minutes into it I found the ring. I was just in the same place the other day where I found the gold chain. With my new Excalibur II there were ten times more targets to dig, ha. About eighty targets, I like this minelab, wish there was a way to set the threshold and then TURN DOWN THE VOLUME. Haaaaaaaaaaaa, if I keep finding stuff like this, it won't be hard to get used to. Its going much deeper. Ring is 10 K gold filled sterling, has a date and initials "MB to BS 5/31/71
The Merc is a well loved 1925
Enjoy the pix

This was one hour into it

Great digs with the new machine. I'm looking into getting a water machine. The Deus is good machine but not for water. Every time I put it in water it screams like CT did.

Congrats on the Sterling bling and Merc. Great finds.
Thanks, now I know what gold fill means, I looked it up, thought it was plating. Here is a link
FAQ: What does Gold Filled Mean? -

Nice, your tearing it up. Looks like you'll gong to be very busy.
I was only in a five foot by twenty foot area today, I'll be busy there for a long time! Thanks

Great digs with the new machine. I'm looking into getting a water machine. The Deus is good machine but not for water. Every time I put it in water it screams like CT did.
I'll still be using my Deus, hopefully they will come up with a hard case like an otter box, that one program is great at finding chains. Thank you.

Thanks George, it really is a great addition to my arsenal.

Man, that's a lot of targets Brad. Looks like it likes you!
I thought it was going to be allot more complicated then it is. Becky was always talking about hers, now I know why.
I still have to check those nickels yet, might be another you know what in there!

Hey nice finds! Any day with a Merc is good in my books, and you got a ring too.

You're inspiring me to bust out the ATPro and find some water. In the four years I used it, I never had it in water...

I really like being in the water, thanks

Nice ring! If only it was solid 10k, but sterling is always a welcomed find too :thumbsup:
Hell if we are wishing, if it was only 24 K solid, or better yet a truck load of gold bricks, lol ha When I cleaned that one up even my son said wow. Its a pretty one, guess I like the design.

I might be headed down with the boat Mon, want to see the forecast Sun, winds will be a factor with that little skiff. I hope you come hit the lake with me, now or this fall which ever?
