My First Ring!!!!

Hello All,
Today I went to the lake and since we are way behind on our rainfall for the year the water is out farther than normal. I had a big day of detecting planned today. I was gonna get up early and hit the old home site from my last trip and then spend a few hours in a plowed field that was plowed right before hunting season and then end the day by the lake. Well, it was 70 degrees 3 days ago when I planned all this and this morning when I got up it was 33 degrees so I waited around for it to warm up a little(40 was the high) and then headed out about lunch. I decided to go straight to the lake and I'm glad I did because I found my first ring. It's just a little thing and it's silver not gold but it's still my first ring and now that I think about it, it's my first silver find with a detector. :D :D
I know you folks in the north and northwest are probably laughing at me right about now because of my cold day but like I said it was just 70 the other day. I know 40 degrees would be very pleasant weather for you all right now but not for me. I do hope it lets up for you all though.
Anyway, I spent most of my time digging up freakin' pulltabs >:( >:( but I guess that's part of it. I found about 50 cents (all clad I think) which is sitting in a cup of lemon juice at the moment. I'm hoping to go out again tomorrow somewhere.
Sorry for the rambling and happy hunting!

Yes, 40 degrees would be very pleasant for some of us but a thirty degree drop in temperature chills the bones no matter how it compares to someone else's temp! ;) Glad you got out in spite of that Ed! First ring!! Congrats!!! ~happy dance!~ Wishing you many more rings including that huge gold one! God bless!

Congrats Ed! 8) Nothing like a nice ring to warm you up and (almost) make you forget the temp.

Man, you have rub in the cold weather thing don't you? Last night we got an additional 12" of snow, near blizzard conditions. Looks like you have a pretty good area to hunt. Congrat's on the ring, unfortunately the pull tabs come with the territory, serves you right.

Congrats on the ring Ed, at least you're cleaning the beach for others who come after you.
Looks like you got some 'much-needed rain'.

I see bunches of junk that you have cleaned outta the water! Good for you! It's all part of it......then when you think it's a bust....then BAM!! Rewarded with some jewelry! Gotta love this hobby. Your persistence paid off! Now go find more!
