    Equinox 800 Gold

    Found this Wednesday, Thought it was junk, just tossed it in my pouch and kept detecting. When I got back to the hotel, I looked it over still thought it was junk, it has a real thin band and some arabic stamping in it. On my drive home, the more time I had to think about how deep it was, the ring size and the weight, the more I felt it might not be junk. I figured I better take it to the coin store and get it tested. Turns out I got a winner, 20K 12.5 grams found 12-14 inches deep 100 feet from the high tide line. showed up as a solid 6 with a nice low tone. My first gold find, how did I do?
