Found my first GOLD ever

[SilverSleuth]

Went to a local spot on Cape Cod today with my Explorer SE. A mill from the 1600's. Spotted this 14k ring with my eyes laying in the gravel in the water. Found about 30 coins. Targets everywhere, going back soon.

I can't believe you jumped in there! Did you get any unwanted attention? I live down in Mashpee and hunt a few places in Falmouth. My father owns a house in West Falmouth that wasd built in 1890 after they moved a house that dated to the 1700's (ambitous weren't they). They oldest stuff I found there was a late 1800's indian head cent. I found a few merc's and eyeballed a 1901 barber before I had a detector(s). I tried to find the privy(s) and came up blanked even made myself a nice sample probe.

Beautiful pictures... Oh no...I just checked the "Treasure Hunters Book of Metal Detecting Laws" under chapter 16 sub section 4, paragraph 2, number 1-a-2... It says...the find will only be considered found with a metal detector if...and only if...you swing the coil over the eyeballed object...and you get a reading.... Just kidding nice find ...you probably did swing the coil over to check the reading...you did right!

First Gold ring is always nice no matter how or where you find it.
I found mine about 2 inches down in muddy dirt.
Almost didn't dig it because of the weak signal but I have learned to dig everything
even poptops.
