Well the 14K certainly made up for the ugly one.
Congratulations

20 years ago they both would have been gold1 May the ring of gold be in your ears and its glitter in your scoop... Enjoy the hobby!

People get down on the tungsten rings. I look at it differently, from a finder’s perspective:
Sure gold or platinum would be nice, but I’d much rather find a tungsten ring, than not find a ring at all.
The value is way less, but I’m guessing we aren’t too disappointed.
We could always leave it in the hole for the next hunter. The fact that we keep them tells me something about me. I say “successful hunt”.👍🏼

Thanks, I agree, and I was excited to find a ring. Some of those tungsten rings are quite beautiful....just wasn't seeing it with this one. 😁

Ring finds are always a welcomed addition in my book. Even the less desirable ones. I keep the junkers too because they fill up the ring shadow box.
