To the Board and all members

[OnionRings]

I joined this forum to learn things about metal detecting and to share with everyone my own experiances in the field and to share what I've leaned with others.
It has been brought to my attention that there are some of you that don't like some of the posts as of late. I guess I'm just human and after being constantly challened on what I'm finding finally got to me! Personaly I don't really care that members believe me or not but I wanted to stop the questioning of my finds that's why I took the camera to the field and posted pic's of me finding these rings, but I still got greif.

I will remove the post that are in question and will refame for posting my finds on this site because there are just to many posters out here that don't want to see theses finds because they seem unbelievable.

I guess if I was reading this fourm and saw the finds I have posted it might seem that I'm full of it or this guy is really lucky.

For the record I have never posted anything on this board I didn't find and they're all real BELIEVE IT OR NOT!

My apologizes to anyone that I offened.

K looks like....18k H.G....I maybe... and a dimond shaped stamp,...wait teh last intilal letter is F, or an Eye for teh dimond, and i just saw that the big stone has kind of an red tint in it, well thats all i can give u now. HH CS

 

[stoney56]

You said 18k HG. Are you sure there's no an E right after it? If so, it stands for Heavy Gold Electroplate, which is just a thick plating of gold on a cheap base metal. Not trying to burst your bubble, CS.

 

[Coin_Saver]

Awwww. BOOM! it burst! It does have an E after the HG I'am soo dissapointed I need to find somthing valuable! this is very anoying, well atleast I can dream about all of the rings Onion found Onion! keep posting!! keep posting!! keep posting!!keep posting!! keep posting!! keep posting!! keep posting!!

At this point I'd be more then happy with that little find coinsaver! I'm still at ZERO in the ring dept.

You know what the best part of showing junk is!!? You think it's junk and then later you find out it's worth BIG BuckS! And that is the beauty of this hobby!Thats why I don't let those" loser's attitude "get the best of my.... what I feel was my hard earned time doing what I like, Even if it wasn't the best find! Because when you least expect it something will be found that will blow their minds and all you will have to do is say....HA !HAHA HA! HA! HAAAAA!!.........Look what I found!....You know! That little nasty tune that will put them in their place! Like when someone drives that Brand new shiney Dodge up and down the street while you are dripping drool from your mouth as he drives by with that half blank ....$%^$#@&^!! You know smile! by! IT CAN HAPPEN!

 

[OnionRings]

Ghost, That's a little harsh, but I get the point your trying to make.

Rings are all great finds no matter if they're not worth anything to anyone else they are still worth alot to the finder because it's a good memory and a great story.

[stoney56]

Speaking for myself you can't always dig up a ring everytime you go out and a lot of the times they are junk but each one is still good because you are able to get out and enjoy fresh air, peace and quiet, and relax even if only for an hour or two. I probably dig 4-5 junk rings for every real ring and I'm happy that my pouch is heavier when I leave than wh I started. HH! Keep digging.

 

[hunting4gold]

Dont' let em get to you... Its been done to me too.... Just ignore them and keep showing those goodies....

I've enjoyed your posts and finds. Lucky or skilled? Doesn't matter either way, gives me incentive to try and hunt hunt and hunt somemore. Keep the posts/finds coming. HH

 

[chuckered]

Keep up the good work onionhead, your post and finds always make me think there is a Lot more for us all. This is one of the main sites i look at everyday, sometimes many times a day. It makes me want to get out there as soon as I can find a partner and the weather gets nicer, I hope to be out there too. The wife does let me out by myself because of health. But keep making my days with your finds, those flaming you are just jealous.

 

[mrmeeks]

"keep posting and keep diggin ..I enjoy all your post.. "? I agree!!!
