hello everyone!

i just got back from a 7 day vacation to texas and minnesota to see family and friends. i went with my girlfriend and came back with my wife...I GOT MARRIED! actually, by definition, we eloped. it was a spur of the moment proposal on friday quickly followed by a whirlwind wedding on the mississippi river in minneapolis on sunday, complete with two photographers, a videographer, an opera singer and a mustached minister/hipster. anyway...

i got back yesterday and got out today with Captain SE. we each found silver. i got two rosies and 5 wheats. the find of the day wasn't a coin though. it was the 1/2 oz. 24K gold ring i found at about two inches! man, i couldn't believe it! i thought it was gonna be fake but when i picked up the dirt-encrusted thing i felt the weight immediately. wiped it off and saw the 24k stamp. i guess i let out some sort of sound that made dan think i found a seated. we stood and looked at it for about ten minutes. the thing is heavy!

what a great day! after exchanging rings in minneapolis i come home to find a nice, fat wedding present in the dirt at my local park! thanks, park.

here are some pics...

HH, Mike

Whoa! Now that's what I call a ring! Any idea what that design is on the top of the ring?

1/2 ounce of gold??? Not a bad find at all :) Nice wedding present! Congrats on your marriage and the ring :thumbsup:

Congrats to you and your Bride! :icon_king: :icon_queen:

Nice find on the ring too! 8)

My Brother lives up the hill from Dana Point park and I tried surfing it once.
He goes all the time. He also MDs on the beach there.
Was the ring in sand or the lawn? I am afraid of lawns so far.
Will try the beach up here in Oregon this coming weekend. :)

Big congrats on both!

I'm also curious what the symbol, letter, character on the ring is. Any ideas yet?
