Metal Detecting
I went to a new site, it was an old school football field that currently is used as a soccer field and neighborhood park. I heard a strange moving tone, clipped from high to low. I dug it, and the gold ring popped out at me! It is 14k. I also found a sterling silver bracelet and ring, and $7 in clad quarters. The gold ring rang up 57 on the VDI. I usually don't dig those strange signals, but you bet I will be from now on!

Nice hit on the gold! I'm still looking for my first gold.
 

Excellent! Need a hunting partner? lol })
 

nothing like some real bling to get the heart pumping. That was a hunt that can spoil you but who cares. gold and silver make for an exciting day. now go find some more!
 

N ice, Nice and very nice. You will always remember your first gold ring. Just know that for the most part, lead, pull-tabs gold rings and nickels will so often come in the same window on a detector, meaning sound and VDI numbers. Yep, there will be more trash, but remember that #57 VDI. 14K! Size of a nickel will always be the same, within a couple of numbers really, but different shapes/sizes of pull-tabs and different sizes and thickness and gold content of rings vary, and so will numbers, but the sound, detect with the ear first, numbers second. I remember when you started, and now, the GOLD club. Congrats Rings&bling.

You will find it! I am right at a year of detecting. I see you have an AT Pro. How do you like it? I am guessing our VDI readings will be the same...

Will do, dirtlooter! It was a banner day for me!

Thanks, Sprailroad!!! I think it was fitting for my first year anniversary to find a gold ring. I am SO glad I found this hobby, and this website!
 

Congrats on the gold. The ice has been broken
 

You really have the knack for this R&B - In the relatively short time you've been detecting you have done really nicely ! Seems like Colorado is gonna treat you right ! ( probably my favorite state)
 

Thanks, Argentium! It is such fun to be a detective and figure out the secrets in the ground. I think that is why is appeals to me. Plus, it is like gambling, you don't always know what you are going to get, and that is what makes it exciting!
 

Well done, very nice finds......If you want to find rings Hawaii is the place.......
 

It’s crazy how much you can find on an old field! Those are some great finds. I’m jealous :) great job!
 

Nice finds, you did great.
 

Sounds like you have had good look in Hawaii, alaskaseeker. I would like to hear more about that.
 

wow, you had a very nice day! love the gold, I guess I better start watching the 57 signals on my 400 heheheeh! HH
 

This is a great series of finds. wow
