I was at the new permission again (where else) and had been patiently digging every signal that I could get a repeat sound on. So I was digging mainly ring pulls and tabs with the occasional bottlecap with very few coins in this particular area. I had dug several tabs and rings that higher VIDs than normal as lower than normal. So is was getting pretty mundane and I was getting pretty sure of myself in IDing what they were. One close to the surface would be a blaster, especially using the Deus pinpoint. I was hot, I was very tired when another blaster signal at 53 (using 18khtz) sounds off. I am thinking another shallow pull tab or whatever and almost went on but I had made it a point to dig all signals and so I dug the plug. My new carrot pin pointer screamed bloody murder towards the upper portion of the plug so I tore it open without much thought. I was once again staring at something totally awesome and again in disbelief. I barely moved some more of the dirt and made sure that I was sure and then yelled to my wife to bring her phone. She got up and gathered her things and headed my way as I covered the ring so she couldn't see it. So she is guessing everything under the sun as I flip the dirt off of the ring. She couldn't believe it either and began taking pictures. As we looked at it, a men's 2009 Mena class ring, i could already tell that this wasn't a run of the mill class ring. It is a custom made ring with the name, etc and Pitcher with six diamonds on top. I know the family, the parents are custom jewelers so the return will be easy. I am a little confused at the moment as the acid test passed 18kt, 22kt as well as the platinum test but I will be finding out shortly. Due to having the next three days already maxed out with out town obligations, the return won't occur until after that. I was not expecting to find a class ring here but that is the way it is, people lose them everywhere. Before I wiped the sides off to reveal the name, I wiped the inside and saw no name engraved nor a standard maker's mark. This has been one crazy awesome week on the new permission. I have been totally blessed and now I get to bless someone else, how cool is that?

Man, is that thing HUGE and decked with real BLING! I reckon the owner will be quite pleased with the return. You really nailed that new permission my friend. Divinely guided there I would say. Keep after it ya'll.
