Hello everyone. It has been a while since I’ve posted here. I haven’t been out much because life gets in the way sometimes. I had a free night tonight and decided to fire up the detector and go around in my yard. I’m living in a 1923 house in the older part of town. So far I’ve found my first war nickels and buffalo nickel here.

Tonight I just went in the back yard. As soon as I turned it on I got a solid 70-71 signal on the AT Pro. It was very shallow. As soon as I flipped the grass over I couldn’t believe my eyes. My first gold! It’s a large men’s wedding ring 10k. There are no inscriptions on it. I pretty much packed it up for the night after finding it. I’m still in a little disbelief right now.

Side note. I didn’t think gold would ring that high on the AT Pro. I have to relearn things I’ve forgotten because I haven’t been out for so long.

Congrats on the gold. Depending on karat and what other metal is used gold can ring up anywhere from forty to seventy on the AT. Other factors can be ground balance or ground moisture. Imagine how many gold items are skipped over by detectorists each year!
