Last year here in San Jose ,California it didn't rain one day in January :BangHead: . This year it rains almost every day ! :hello2: . I got out yesterday in between the storms for a hunt in the mud :laughing7: . I went back to a school that has always been good to me :thumbsup: . I thought I would dig all low VDI numbers hoping to get the gold ! Only 15 minutes in I had a mixed up VDI , +20 - +45 . When I saw a gold chain in the plug my eyes popped ! Well it was just a played junk chain with a junk ring on it :BangHead: . After that I found some game tokens , mood ring , Mexican coin and a cross . Then it happened again ! Vdi was +18 and when I dug the plug I saw a gold ring ! NO :BangHead: !!!! It was other plated piece of junk ! It was a small ring with an opal looking stone . After that I thought I would start looking for silver :thumbsup: . Finally I got a sweet +81 at 2 inches , Silver ring , first of 2016 ! :headbang: When it was all done I had $9.63 in clad in two hours .

Well done nice silver ring and goodies! Congrats!
Those plated ones really get the blood pumping for a few seconds.
Better rain than snow. We got 4" over night. :(

Awesome post Pl8man, :icon_thumleft: The gold may have not been real, but it shows you were listening for the good stuff. Congrats on the silver ring and that clad haul. :occasion14: Sounds like you had a fun 2 hours. I have only been averaging about $1.25 per hour my last 2 hunts.

Super hunt, Glen! What a thrill to keep digging (with your expertise, of course) jewelry. Congrats on a nice sterling ring. Sub 8-)

Hello Pl8man,

Congratualtions on the finds and variation of hunting style. :occasion14:

Last Sunday, I did the same thing and worked a school looking for mid-tones only. I found lots of nickels (no surprise) and two nice gold rings and chain.

Of course, I dug lots of foil, pull tabs and pencil eraser tops. :BangHead:

Regards,

Doc
