Decided to check out a spot that didn't look so hot, to be honest. A rather large open area that was farm fields at one time, but now has grass on it. But "what the hell" I though, "you never know". Sure enough, my instinct was right!

Not five minutes after I stepped out of the car I got a mid-tone that I thought for sure was a penny. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised when I pulled this man's wedding band out of the ground!

It has "14k Diana" stamped on the inside on the light part, and also has a yellow gold streak running through it. The pig weighs 12 grams, and it fits! Lol. Was a good hunt overall. Think I might sell it to go toward my dream of upgrading to a Tesoro outlaw with 3 coils. I already have my own wedding ring. :laughing7:

Sorry to ramble, but I'm pretty happy. Thanks for looking! 20160809_212307.jpg PS: It's also my first gold recovery!

nothing better than thinking you're digging a crusty penny, then having the shiny bit come out:)

Well, that certainly is a really nice find! And..if one must upgrade from the machine that found that, using a find to finance it is the best way. But, where does one go from "UP". :dontknow:
