My ring slump ended this morning with a THUMP !!!! I got out and hunted one of my favorite parks this morning hoping for one more treasure . I decided to hunt the grass along the side walk . Well after an hour and a hand full of clad I got a +20 at 3 inches . My eyes about popped when I looked in the hole :happy2: . It was a big white gold ring !!! I wasn't sure what Kt till I got home , no stamp inside. It passed 18K :hello2: !!! I tried 22K test but it failed . It weighs 10.6 grams ! My slump was over :icon_thumright: . The other ring I found was right on the surface and is a home made copper ring , #118 .

UPDATE , It's not 18k , just stainless

OH MAN !!!! That is a beautiful ring , does it fit ? Did you snag that with the MXT ?
It's a half size too small . The MXT PRO is the machine :thumbsup:
