Just got back from a hunt that I will remember for a long time. I found 5 gold rings . 3 of them are 24K and two are 14K . The large one with a pig on it is 24k and has awesome weight to it . :headbang: I am told that the pig represents good luck and fortune. The two plain bands are 24K and the other two are 14K . I don't know if any of the stones are real . The large 24K ring should be about 700-800 bucks with todays gold prices . :icon_thumright:
It was an awesome day and I always use the clad to pay the cab drivers. I count it out before I go some where and then just hand it over to them and jump out before they say anything. :tongue3: Not sure how much these rings are worth but I am sure I paid for my detector today!! :wink:
