Got out of work early, bride out shopping, so what to do, what to do????....
Hit up one of my old permissions, and I focused in the shrub area closest to the street. I avoided it in the past due to the enormous amount of trash and emi from the power lines above.
A few Lincoln’s and dimes to keep me happy, then my machine went nuts on a pile of trash.
Or so I thought.

Not pictured is the $3.00 or so in change, A Kennedy Half, State Quarters, zincolns, all common clad for the taking, and then....DAFUQ?.... a ring? Sure enough, mixed in with the clad spill.

My heart skipped a beat or two when I saw the color.....but I had my suspicions.
I put it to the side, gave it a Pro scan, solid 89.

Cleaned up real pretty, enough so the legibility of 18kt elec plate is clear as day.:BangHead:

It's always a real thrill digging fake jewelry that nearly passed for genuine. The adrenal glands need a good flushing every once in awhile. Nice score on the huge spill too.:thumbsup:

Hey BWD, what a great hunt! Sure, you just missed the gold mark but it is a beauty of an old ring. As far as the heavy emi, did you turn down the sensitivity, or just put up with it? Congrats, Ddf.

Congrats on the sweet spill Dave. :occasion14: Heck when you return to a permission I hope your swinging over the harder spots. It sure paid off for you this day.

Pardon my ignorance but what does OTWBTTC stand for?

Hey ddfool....I turned it way down to 1 bar, still had to listen to chatter, but fought through it.
