I was out MD'ing at the park, and saw the rain coming...but I was targeting something with my Ace 150, and knew I was about to get poured on. I prioritized things, and decided to finish locating and digging my target. Out popped a ring! Okay, so it's not real gold, but hey, it's a ring, and it's kinda cool! Now I'm safe in my house with all my windows open, listening to the rain pouring down outside, and feeling the strong, cool breeze blowing through my house... Life is good! Happy hunting! ;D

If you are hitting the toy rings, then you'll get the real ones once you swing over the top of one! :hello2: One question, why did you let the rain run you inside?? :icon_scratch:

HH!!

I didn't want to get the main display part of my MD wet and risk damaging the circuits inside it. I guess I could cover it up with a clear plastic bag... ;D

Actually, it did quite a few dances! I sure wish I could hit some real gold, or silver. I've yet to find either! I think my time is near...I'm MD'ing a pretty old park in my town, the same one that I found this ring at, as well as 4 wheaties, so I'm hoping it won't be much longer! Happy hunting to ya! :icon_thumleft:
