FINALLY !! First gold, little 18k beauty..

[dirtdigginfool]

As of late, I've been on a mission...a mission for gold. The closest I've found are a couple of buttons with almost non-existent gold plating, and I've been digging every signal 40 and up. Believe me, I've paid my dues, as I have dug enough trash, can slaw and pull tabs to start my own recycling center..and I knew I was getting close, as my nickel count has been higher than other clad/coins combined each hunt. I invited friends Max and Richie to hunt a school with me that to my knowledge, has been hit only by me...as I pulled MAJOR clad out of there my first few trips there...over $30, and that was quarters only! Max strikes first, a cheapie, yet nice ring...then whilst digging my zillionth 46-47 signal, expecting more slaw, BOOM !! GOLD IN THE HOLE !!! I was told when I found real gold, I would know it right away...real gold just has that....look. I must have screamed...coz Richie and Max ran over like my hair was on fire, and kindly watched over my gold-bearing plug while I ran for my phone...also pictured is the 100 yen coin i plucked, probably something little Johnny brought for show and tell and then donated to me...lol...and a huge shout out to Scrappy and ATW...awesome members who coached me through my gold drought...lol..thx guys, you're right! Gold is easy to find...all you have to do is DIG DIG DIG!!...Thx for looking, DDF...

Congrats. Unfortunately you will have to dig many many more tabs and can slaw to find your next one. More trash is tossed than gold rings lost.

Wish you many more in your adventures

Congrats on the gold. It does get frustrating digging all those mid tones just to end up with a pile of crap, but you forget that when the gold finally pops up.

Congrats. That's a pretty ring.

Thanks Spoonicus, I started raking in old silver, wheats and nice relics only when I weaned myself off the playgrounds, schools etc. .and got on some older sites, old farmhouses on my road provided some great finds, however, I found the schools and such necessary to find my ring, you just have to dig a ton of trash to do it. The school yards and playgrounds allowed me to dig enough coins to upgrade to a better pin-pointer and also honed my detecting skills. Thx, ddf.
