Found A Used Car Lot Today Also My 1st GOLD!! AND SILVER TOO!

[olekyground]

Hey friends! So I went down town today and chatted with the pharmacist who owns a old 2 story white house on the corner of a st. down the road. He said he dont see why it would be a problem to detect there. so I headed that way. At first I was hitting all kinds of penny signals that ended up being old toy cars as seen in pic. The big purple looking one is actually a tootsie toy from '76. anyhow as I got torward the end of the grassy area heading torward the road I git a good strong high penny signal. I dug it up to find my very 1st gold ring!!! YAY!!! The gold isnt clear from the oputside but the inside clearly reads 18 K. that made my day. then I found an old babtist something another... It says broadman supplies. with the babtist on the back and a red cross. Also found some change and a 1944 War nickel. I was there for about n hour until the pharmacist comes walking over to me and says " I'd rather not you do this. I have costumers walking in constantly saying I got someone out here digging up the yard. " So needless to say I left " But with a smile on my face!" anyways thanks for looking!

Nice finds but bad news for the ring. (brass not gold - plenty of old fakes get dug and posted every year) Ground found 18k would come out looking sweet.

Yeah it sucks but I'm pretty sure, and as I said seen many of these, and many are stamped. It's still kinda cool if you ask me.... probably because I like counterfeit coins too.

I have found 5 of those rings..........it is disapointing I know! What u can do though is shine it up real nice to make it look gold, at least it will look good in your ring display!

[prolab69]

some neat stuff man

Don't be too disapointed on the ring. Before about 1900 it was common for a wedding band to be plated gold, brass or silver. So these may not be counterfit but an unrecognized bit of history. Once I learned what they where I took far more joy in finding them. It is also proof you are doing the right thing at the right time in the right place.

Happy hunting.
