I DID IT, I think I did it, I'm pretty sure I did it....

Went out this morning for a short hunt. As I was walking to the water I got a hit in the sand. A pull tab. **sigh** I walked into the water and within the first 15 minutes I got a solid hit. No matter how I moved the coil over the target it was SOLID. I scooped it up and in my scoop was GOLD! Well it looked like gold. Wouldn't you know I left my hunting glasses in the car and couldn't tell what it said on the inside of the ring. I could tell there was some writing but... couldn't make it out. It is very worn. I hunted for about 45 minutes more and then had to leave. All in all I was only there about an hour. When I got back to the car I put my other glasses on and there was one initial and a date visible. No jewelry marks or if there were they are worn off. I did say the ring is well worn. There is even a small nick in the ring. Without testing of some kind I am 95% sure that this is gold. Well I'M GOING TO CONSIDER THAT IT IS! ::) The date is 14 years old. My total for this morning was 1 nickel, 1 penny, 1 pull tab and the ring. I'll take it. :wink:

That is a very pretty ring mumzie! Looks like gold to me too.
 
Re: I DID IT, I think I did it, I'm pretty sure I did it....

Sure looks like Gold to me. 2 things kinda give it away to me. 1, Its natural color, 2, Gold is soft when you get into 14k+ & it looks plenty bent up. Way to go & congratulation's. :icon_queen:

Way to go mumsie!!! Would this qualify for a Banner find? :D
 
Re: I DID IT, I think I did it, I'm pretty sure I did it....

No the banner is for spectatular finds. I'm happy with just finding it this morning. Now to find a platininum ring!

Congratulations mumsie! Reward comes to those who never give up.

Congrats Mumzie, we all knew it was just a matter of time. And there is nothing more beautiful and exciting than seeing gold in your scoop!

As to leaving your hunting glasses in the car, you never know who's watching you, so its best not to examine your finds too closely in public anyway. Just tuck them away as if they were another piece of junk and keep on hunting.

Now on to Gold ring #2! We'll be waiting.
