Howdy all,
After last nights gold ring I figured it would be a while before I got another big chunk. I was wrong again. I headed back to the same field, and only 3 targets in I get this beauty. I was workin the stretch at the edge of the track and got another mid tone just like last night. I cut the plug and recheck the hole. My pro-pointer starts screamin but I don't see anything. So I reach in and feel a ring. I never guessed it would be this awesome. It has a 1985 1/20th oz. .999 pure Chinese panda coin, set in a big hunk of 14k gold. I know its not an old us gold coin but I ain't complaining. I figured anyting after that is just icing on the cake. I only had about an hour or so to spend and was having a hard time concentrating with that in my pocket. I did manage a small silver necklace before the end of the hunt. The little cheerleader charm is junk, but the D is .925 like the chain. I am sure the D is what I heard as it rang up like a dime. I am still doin the happy dance, and will be heading back tonight. I don't know how I will top the last 2 hunts but I am goin to try. Thanks for lookin, and luck in the hunt.

SWEEEEEEEET FINDS!!! I am always curious as to the story of HOW a ring like that ended up lost in a field. Any ideas?
 

I think my heart would still be beating out of my chest.

It was a high school foot ball field. They also hold track meets there, and its right next to a college. So the foot traffic there rivals any park. As far as the story goes, your guess is as good as anyones.
