Detector(s) used
Whites Eagle Spectrum, Compass X-100, Whites Beach Hunter ID, 2 Whites Spectrum XLT's
This morning I headed to a park where I knew there would be a lot of clad finds, only to get there and find some one beat me to it. Seems like they had their detector set to reject pull tabs and nickels. That didn't bother me because I was after the gold rings that might be there. All the signals I got were pull tabs, shredded aluminium, and nickels. I had to empty my pouch once because of all the junkque, but that was OK. I found 18 nickels, a couple ofdollars in clad they missed, and a really nice gold cross that weighs just under an ounce. . All I can say is thank you for not wanting to go through the effort of really looking, and being too lazy to dig the lower signals where the valuables hide. At least the park is cleaner and safer then when I left. This was one of my better nickel days, and I left with a smile on my face.Here is what you loose if you notch out pull tabs and nickels. Took it to a jeweler this morning and the results were, it came in a few penny weights under an ounce, and tested at 22+K gold. The tester only went to 22K. Sure may dig a lot of extra trash at those lowere freqs, but the rewards make up for it.

Outstanding! I have to admit, I have been one of those lazy people and don't dig the trash, I better rethink that process, LOL! Congradulations!
 

A great find PM--Congrats
 

Piggman! I knew you would be into the gold any day now, way to dig. Sweet cross. A little better than a silver ring, huh? ;D
 

Stunning find. That's so sweet of you to give to your mother.

;) RR

This is truely the best find of my year. It made a lot of people happy, but I'm a ring junkie....and I still need my fix! Thanks for all the great comments, you are all so great, I had to share it with you. Just remember, in the trash lies the treasures. It's alot of work, but no one said it would be easy. I have a 5 gallon bucket with nothing but pull tabs and shredded aluminium cans to show for this prize.
