My Boss gave me the day off today , so what should I do ? Find a park to go dig in :hello2: . When I pulled up and got out of my truck this park looked good from the start . Not 15 minutes into the hunt and I find a 1955D Wheat cent . As I worked my way out into the playing field I got coin after coin . I'm thinking there must be a ring or two out here . After about two hours all I have are a bunch of clad and the one Wheat . My back was already hurting so I started to make my way back to the truck . I got a strong +26 , +30 at 2inches , so I dig it and what do you know gold ring !!! It has three diamonds and did not have a mark . As soon as I got home I tested it and it test as 18K :headbang: ! Number 38 ring for the year . Getting back to the park , I was still making my way back and I get a solid +81 at 3 inches . I pull back the plug and hanging to it is a 1964 silver Rosie ;D .
I can't wait to hunt the school next to it this weekend :icon_thumright: .

Looks great :headbang: I just dug my first 18K ring last weekend. For some reason they seem to be rare to find in my area. All the rings I've found are 10k, or 14k. Congratulations on your find.

I found out someone I know found this very same ring 4 years ago and it turned out to be 22K gold and the diamonds were real ! My test kit only goes up to 18K so I need to have this ring checked for 22k ! :headbang:
