The Square Tab and the 10k Ring

[ShovelNose]

So lately silver coins have eluded me but the gold rings are filling the void. Using my ET I was running a trashy park pattern that I tighten up even more in the copper range and was using the NEL Sharpshooter while trying to pick through the moderate trash here. I still leave a wider nickel notch looking for Buffalo's. This site is late forties so should be some but only seeing Jefferson's. I came over a jumpy 12-13 with a null. The sq. tabs have been running in the bouncy 12-13 range but it was a solid hit it one direction. When I flipped the plug which was dry as the desert I see the tab and just an inch or so over there was a ring. In the hole it looked like a Cracker Jack style ring. There are 4 diamond chips that are in the middle and intact. On its own it comes in as a solid 12-10 so if it wasn't for the tab I would have missed the ring. 12-10 is discriminated out. Looking like an older style 10k cocktail ring. Maybe fifties. We could use some rain in the Queen City. Its almost causing no yard hunting season and that is usually July. Ground is starting to crack! Even a good plug could kill the grass. Thanks for looking JR

very cool!, I like that ring a lot. I know what you mean about the rain, yesterdays hunt was ok for us, started to see some dry land in places, and in others It was still a bit damp
got a nice quick soaker today, that should help a bit

Nice ring.

Very nice ring and way to go on the hunch. No matter what the machine, gold hides in the trash, so take a risk! Sub

Hi Shovel Nose, nice ring save ! My last ring read out at like 12-06 . I don't discriminate those low signals out I am open I even dig some 01 signals just out of curiosity. I found out today that my new coiltek could get a small patch of foil down around nine inches. Not much should escape it ! Key is the operator willing enough to dig I do get tired sometimes, those danged pulls often look yellowish when just coming out of the ground lol !

Great find John! That is a hard place to hunt and I agree that we need some rain here. I was hunting up near Cedar Grove, NC and the ground was dust beneath the grass. Back home now to try my luck in the dust here. IF i can get a partner I may try to go find the rings you missed up there.
