I was able to get out in the field for a couple hours yesterday. I try to dig everything here because theres old shallow stuff, old deep stuff, shallow can slaw, deep can slaw. I usually at least find something good every trip. I had dug a couple bits of can slaw. 12-30 VDI?s on the MXT. Every one, im hoping for a gold coin. It was probably my fourth hole which was ringing up at 18-20 at 3?. Flipped the plug and out popped a big gold ring. Once i cleaned it out i found out it had inscriptions on the inside that said ?Aug 10, 1872. With Maggie?s Love.? The day i dug it was August 14th! 149 years and 4 days of marriage. Theres a big ding on the top but 7.2 grams of 18k isnt a bad day! Happy Hunting and a belated Happy 149th Anniversary to Maggie and her husband!
