Today was my second day out with the land ranger pro. I am still learning how to set it up. I decided to go back over my own yard. I had previously dug up quite a bit of clad, using a tracker iv. I had a few hits in the quarter range and found garbage. well on the 3rd hit in the aluminum range i found a 14k gold ring with a ruby and 2 small diamonds. I was running very little notching and sensitivity on 5. It was down about 3 inches. This makes for a good day and it pays to dig up the aluminum

Congratulations. Nice find. Nice pic too. There is HG? (P), behind the 14K but a beauty of a recovery.
Keep on swinging.

Thanks for all the congrats on finding the ring. The next good news is that it does not belong to my wife or her 2 daughters. I was quite shocked when i pulled it out of the dirt. There is mostly fill around my house a lot of gravel and rocks. The house was built in 1945 and i have lived here about 13 years. Now i wan't to go back over the rest of it. I have about 1/3 of an acre. Maybe i will get lucky again.

I have searched my yard many times. Every time I find stuff I can't believe I missed. You never get it all.

Nice ring! I've found 2 gold in two years so you are doing just fine. PS...can you use a background with less color for your pics? Nobody even thinks of us color blind people :sadsmiley:, but I could appreciate the beauty of that ring better without so much "eye noise"..:laughing7:.
