Finally got some gold (and its a whopper!!!!!!)

[Slipperyjack47]

Went out hunting in my new park the last 2 days and boy has it been fun! I got out the first evening for just a couple of hours and got some nice coinage, here's the tally.....buffs..1918 and 1925...barber dimes..1902 and 1915 rosie 1961...IHP's 1902,1903,1904 and 1909 wheatie so after that hunt I decided to get up early and hit it again this morning and go over an area that produced all the seated coins last week. I decided to dig the odd and iffy signals to see what else might be hiding under the soil. I got a neat locket then a very small lead horseman. I was really enjoying the little extra's when I got a nice hard signal that was kinda deep so I popped a nice plug and the first pile of dirt outa the hole rolls out this big gold object, all I could think was " I hope this is real!" A giant of a ring that at first looked like a class ring. I carefully took it to a nearby stream and washed off the dirt and looked inside the band and there it said 10K.........WOOOOOHOOOOO! then I noticed the stone on top.....diamond!!! WOOOOOHOOOO again! man was I doing the happy dance! That about did me in for the day but I had managed to get a few other neat finds...Duluth bus token, a penny thats been hit by a train, musketball,and a few others that I'll post pics of. I am going to try to find the owner of the ring as it has initials inside, don't know how it will come out as it has not much info to go on other than its a U.S. military ring, Airborne. I sure would love to be able to hand that ring to the person who lost it since they have given so much to us and our country allready, it would be nice to give something back to them!
