I snagged first gold with my AT.

YAY.

My first gold item with the AT Pro!

I got up this morning and half dragged my wife outta bed to go hunting at a place I had not been before. There were some old barns and farm houses there once upon a time.... but has been turned into a massive city park within the last 15 years.

My wife usually likes to dig my targets.... she has been a bit intimidated with the actual detecting part. Today however I insisted she use the Tesoro Cibola and get a feel for it. We got there and I set her up for coin shooting.

We went over to some of the remaining structures and found the typical agriculture implement iron stuff. After about an hour and a half I saw that she was getting tired of digging up plow points and had the "lets pack it in" look on her face. I said, "lets run up to the tot lot real quick and shoot that for jewelry and then we are gone." Her ears perked up a little at the word "jewelry". I set her machine just above iron and off we went.

My second target was a bit sketchy. It was a 51-52 VDI with a bit of chop to the signal. Dug it and sure enough.... the ring.. bent in the shape of a "U". It bent right out and I called over to her and we checked it out. It had a 14k stamp on the inside.

Seems she got some sort of second wind and started back swingin the Tesoro like a Samurai. Funny how that works.

Thanks for lookin!

"Her ears perked up a little at the word "jewelry"."

A little gold can do wonders for the attitude!
Congrats, and that's for the ring AND getting the wife hooked on metal detecting.

Born Free

My huge gold ring of 24K Korean gold ....... became hers the minute I got into the house.
But, it got me the rest of my life out hunting......she gets a little upset about me going out, I gentttttly remind her of
the possibilities.
