Howdy all,
After last nights gold ring I figured it would be a while before I got another big chunk. I was wrong again. I headed back to the same field, and only 3 targets in I get this beauty. I was workin the stretch at the edge of the track and got another mid tone just like last night. I cut the plug and recheck the hole. My pro-pointer starts screamin but I don't see anything. So I reach in and feel a ring. I never guessed it would be this awesome. It has a 1985 1/20th oz. .999 pure Chinese panda coin, set in a big hunk of 14k gold. I know its not an old us gold coin but I ain't complaining. I figured anyting after that is just icing on the cake. I only had about an hour or so to spend and was having a hard time concentrating with that in my pocket. I did manage a small silver necklace before the end of the hunt. The little cheerleader charm is junk, but the D is .925 like the chain. I am sure the D is what I heard as it rang up like a dime. I am still doin the happy dance, and will be heading back tonight. I don't know how I will top the last 2 hunts but I am goin to try. Thanks for lookin, and luck in the hunt.

Juju,
I got to tell ya man, you guys keep me going,... Just when I think I have had it with digging trash and I think about giving up trying to find gold, I read your posts and Dave-enc's posts and i get all fired up and i go back out and dig with a renewed faith.

I remember the first time I found a gold ring it has a 1985 1/20th oz. .999 pure Chinese panda coin, set in a big hunk of 14k gold. Oh wait, that wasn't me that was JuJu. :laughing9: :notworthy: :notworthy:
