I am so happy.WOOOHOOO MY first GOLD RING ! its the smallest gold ring I ever seen but I like it ..the ground is frozen out here so I went to a small patch of woods that was a hang out in the early 1800..now its all over grown but there are lots of leaves on the ground keeping it from freezing .

I put my coil down the first thing I here is a 53 on the AT PRO I dig it expecting some trash and BAM GOLD 6" down .A gold ring for my first target of the day wow
..
I have dug up thousands of pull tabs and junk looking for it finally I found MY PRECIOUS lol... there was no marking on the inside but I knew it was gold .

it came out of the ground all shiny.I took it to a jeweler and had it acid tested .its only 10k but ITS GOLD ..
ITS MY PRECIOUS !!! HA ha ..thanks for looking :occasion14:

congrats, it might be pretty old if it doesn't have any markings. It could have also been worn for a long time and worn away too. nice job!

Nice gold ring.....I wore my wedding ring for 37 years before it split and started cutting into my finger....had it cut off[the ring]....all engravings on the inside were worn off....I'd say yours is pretty old....congrats!

Thats another good reason I'm single..... Your ring is a very good analogy for marriage in general. The first day you wore it , it just slid right on.... Then before you knew it, it started cutting into your flesh and eventually had to be sawed off .

Congrats on your first GOLD RING! WOO HOO ! And a nice one it is too! (Don't let anyone return it to the fiery pit from whence it came). I've seen smaller ones, that's not too shabby!

Great pics! Lol! I imagine we all are starting to look like that by now! Lol! Spring where art thou?
