My ring slump ended this morning with a THUMP !!!! I got out and hunted one of my favorite parks this morning hoping for one more treasure . I decided to hunt the grass along the side walk . Well after an hour and a hand full of clad I got a +20 at 3 inches . My eyes about popped when I looked in the hole :happy2: . It was a big white gold ring !!! I wasn't sure what Kt till I got home , no stamp inside. It passed 18K :hello2: !!! I tried 22K test but it failed . It weighs 10.6 grams ! My slump was over :icon_thumright: . The other ring I found was right on the surface and is a home made copper ring , #118 .

Nice find. Congrats! And HH
 

OH MAN !!!! That is a beautiful ring , does it fit ? Did you snag that with the MXT ?
It's a half size too small . The MXT PRO is the machine :thumbsup:
 

That ring is awesome Pl8man! I'm hurting for a fix like that.
Congrats!!
 

Excellent find.Congrats.I wish i could find white gold.HH.
 

that monster is 18k??????? holy cow that's insane
 

Love it, your ring count is through the roof!
 

That is a healthy piece of metal. Very nice. I like the dig picks.
 

I just learned something from another forum , stainless rings test like 18K gold :BangHead: . I tested my other stainless ones I have found and they all test like 18k but not 22k :angry4:: , Oh well next time :thumbsup:
