I've been away from posting on-line for a while for a multitude of reasons, but figured I'd come back with my best for this year. This is my third year detecting and I had two "firsts" this month. Last weekend I found a platinum and diamond anniversary/wedding band marked "950" platinum. I just got it back from the appraisal from my local jeweler. It has 9 full round diamonds with a total weight of .38 carats. The ring weighs 6.3 grams...appraisal value ... $1900.00! Yahoooooo! :hello2: :headbang:

Also found two gold rings earlier this month. A small 10K heart ring. And big honkin' 11.4 gram gold ring stamped 24k. I had the jeweler verify that it was indeed 23k or 24k gold. Value about $430! What a month!

All were dug with the Ace250 and excellerator coil. All were 3-5 inches down.

Gorgeous! I love reports of folks getting the goodies with the humble Ace 250... truly a fun and effective machine.

nice finds :icon_thumright:, were they at a park?

Yes they all the rings were found in parks. If I remember right this particular platinum ring came in pretty much about one notch above pulltab on the Ace250. There was a subtle difference from the normal sound that made me dig. I also think it was a little more stable than normal items that ring in this range (not much notch variance on the swings) .
