A bit of a dry spell for gold rings. My last was exactly a month ago and there were 5 within a 3 week period then. I was very disappointed with the 4th weekend..just a little silver with lots of effort.

Well Yesterday was a bit different,in the dry sand with the PI a small ladies 10K high school ring showed up in my scoop. Gotta love that chunky feeling in the scoop. :hello2:

Not huge it weighs in at 3.9 grams and has HILDA and also 3 initials inside. The school is a ways from here, Redondo Union class of 1985. Their site doesn't come up on my computer so I'll try calling tomorrow to see if I can locate the owner. Based on the corrosion it seems not to be a new drop but rather a result of sand being moved into the area (somewhere in Long Beach).

Nice looking ring Joe. I have only found one and that was (in the grass at some school in Huntington Beach). Small 10k 1958 with no stone.
