I was hunting an open area when I got a nice crisp "58". Something told me that I needed to dig this. If it were closer to the parking curb, I probably would have passed it up as a pull tab, but something told me with it being in the center of an open space to dig. At 2", out came a beautiful 14k gold wedding band weighing 8.8 grams. I guess that will have to do for the day!

Nice find. I am sure that it was worth the wait.
 

Sweet ! Kenk, I'm still searching for my first gold ANYTHING...So congratulations, now I bet the gold will start rolling in! And when I finally do strike gold, it will be well-deserved, I've dug enough pull tabs and can slaw to build a small car...heck maybe a big one! Thx for sharing, ddf...
 

Sweet! I got my first white gold ring last month.

I also heard the little voice tell me i should dig this.

I think the detector readings have more to do with the metals the gold is mixed with.
 

Freaking SWEET! Congratulations! :occasion14:

Sweet day and Congrats on the gold!!
I got a 10k white gold ring earlier this year that also rang up 58 on the AT Pro.
