First Gold with the new to me G2

[DonDigger]

OK, not the Lost Dutchman or anything like that but still a prized find. A good friend was clearing brush on some rental property last fall and lost his wedding band in the process. He made several attempts to find the ring to no avail. Well this week he and his wife are out of town and I was taking care of the house and mowing the grass so after I was done I pulled out the G2 to see if I could locate the ring. After about 45 minutes and some junk, a couple of clad, and several old cable tv filters, I hit a solid signal next to a tree that rang up a 58. Depth showed at about 3 inches. I thought that was too deep for something lost just 7 or 8 months ago but dug it anyway. Yep, gold staring back at me from the hole! Probably lost it while edging around the tree and got covered by the loose dirt. I'm not going to bother them while the are on vacation, but will I have a surprise for him when they return!

You sure that's not a random other gold ring? That one is probably 75-100 years old

Testing123, just curious how you knew this plain gold band was that old? Is it from the halmark? Style?
