Fire and Ice

[Subterranean]

Fire...Spending all day so far running calls for the VFD. The day is still young, the humidity is low, the winds are 30 mph, and everything is DRY! Ugh...

Ice...I squeezed a few hours in between calls and hit a little creekside park in my own community. Grabbed some clad and then got a solid, (not scratchy) 43 VDI at 2" deep on the ATPro. I am crusty enough to now know that gold hides in that range. I was not disappointed. Up from the ground came a small white gold ring with 11 stones, which all tested positive for diamonds! The ring is marked "10 K" with a fancy "S" hallmark.



First gold of 2017 for ol' Subterranean.

Thanks for peeking and yes, I did dig up about a dozen pull tabs before finding this little beauty today! Happy Hunting to all, Sub

Congrats Sub ole buddy!

I certainly find myself digging more scrap and pull tabs now, Whadi. All the big silver and gold targets are being harvested by an onslaught of new and returning detectorists in my area. Lots of competition in the public areas where I hunt. Still, I find SO MANY coins, and therefore smaller rings. Some people just don't want to dig "clad." Good for me! Sub

Awesome find Sub. Kudos to you for serving the community,

Thanks Loco, I'm going on my 37th year of public service, albeit the last five years I have been volunteer, which I am honored to be. I see you are a veteran? Thank YOU for your service! Sub
