Holy cow! My heart is still pounding! First signal of the day I hit a solid 12-10 on the Etrac. I'm still getting used to the new machine so I dig every solid, loud signal I hit. Got the pinpointer out and I knew it was real shallow. Its pretty wet out so I just rubbed the top of the mud and....

Cleaned up absolutely beautiful. This was top of my list for the year, to find ANY gold. I just never expected such a nice ring. Its just a little small for me, fits my pinky. Happy to share this with my Tnet brothers and sisters. HH all

Not a scratch... I mean NO signs of wear...

It looks brand new...

and un-monogramed ...

Very odd.

Almost as though it was purchased and dropped right after purchase.

I thought the same thing. It is in perfect condition. There is a lot of foot traffic thru here all summer long. Right outside of a university campus

Congratulations on your first gold! I see it appears to have been at the edge of an asphalt pad. I always swing along the edges too, realizing that round rings roll on hard surfaces, usually downhill until they hit the grass... Sub8-)
