I was able to get out for more than just an hour today and managed 3 hours at a site that has produced three gold items for me and my buddies. I got my first gold ring of the year, a 14KT nugget ring. I also got two junk rings which are my 4th and 5th rings of the year. I also got two silver bracelets. Once is a chain marked 925 Italy which I was able to repair. The other is a two parts of a really nice bangle bracelet. Once side is perfect but the other looks like it hit a mower blade. I also got a nice cross with stones, and about $10 in clad. It was great to get out and I am thrilled to get the gold and double silver.

Man that place won't quit! Too bad I wasn't there to find that ring for you;) you didn't tell me you found 2 silver bracelets! A lot has come outta there and I'd be willing to bet there's more. We've both found 2 gold there, who's gonna be the tie breaker?

Thanks all for you kind comments. Eagleforce the ring is solid and weighed in at 5.6g of 14KT. FYI...I stopped digging penny dime signals, zinc pennies and all foil signals. I intend on going back soon to dig these in hopes to get the small gold that I know must be there since we already pulled 4 large golds.
