Hey all. I did some hunting with my buddy Jerry and we made some good finds. He definitely got the best of it today. I would post pics of the ring too for those not interested in watching the video, but he gave it to the homeowner as we had agreement to split the finds. He figured it would just be easier to let him keep the ring and we would keep the rest of the finds. :)

I know. Hard to decide between a vintage gold ring and a stunning silver fork! :)
I'm glad Jerry had a great hunt, he was due for a good one.

Congrats! Would be curious to see what karat it checks out at. From what I've seen (but I'm far from an expert), rings that were below 10k were marked as "solid gold." So it may be 8k or so and has some age to it.

Nice finds. I would be happy with the fork, never found a silver one.

Actually saw the video a couple days ago. You are living in the city where I was born, and I still have a lot of kin there. Keep up the good work!

I noticed youve been using the T2 mostly lately. Do you prefer it over the Etrac

Right on. He told me that from his research it's either 8k or 9k and is from the late 1800's. :)
