I went to a Family picnic in Connecticut and threw some coins out on the grass for the kids to hunt down with the help of my DFX. I got a good target reading at 4 /1/2" down so I went for it. This shiny gold ring was the target. Nice huh? We think we know who the owner is so I don't think I will be keeping it :'( I also found the 1944 Mercury dime right close to the ring. Dave P.

I also have a DFX and if I do an air test with a good ring (gold) it will show both the pull tab icon and the ring icon but the ring icon will be first on the left where a pull tab air test would be opposite.
