This was my first hunt of the year and first gold ring. 4.4Gr 14K. The best part was I found it with a 25+ year old Minelab Sword that was gifted to me last year by a great hunting partner. Very low tides the next few days, today was the start of them.

Sword was a very good detector. The only problem is there are no sword coils, no sword mother boards, the shell is wrong size to install a Excal or Excal II motherboard in it too.
 

Beautiful Ring - a great way to start the year - congrats !

Awesome find! All gold is good gold. I have always wanted an Excalibur
 

Nice one too! well done!
 

very nice find. Based on the style and engraving I'd say that ring is probably around 100 years old
 

GOLD!!!
Nicely done.

I've only ever seen one other one that actually worked, this one works great.

I use to see a lot of them 10-15 years ago, use to work on them.
