I loaded up the boat and hit my lake spot solo today, wanted to beat the heat. Not too far into the hunt I was chasing a 77 VDI with my Deus out pops this beauty. A 14 K gold ring, The stone looks like my wife's birthstone, she laid claim to that one. I had already found the 1941 D Merc, notice the way one side was tarnished and the other was not. I've had Barbers come out of the bottom of this lake looking brand new. Later on I was chasing a nice sounding 80 VDI. It kept falling through my scoop so I went under with my carrot and pulled this pretty Uncus kiddiegem ring.
Enjoy the pix

Nice score!
Thank you

Way to go man! That is one SWEET looking gold ring!
One of my favorites, thanks Doc

Nice going Brad!! Any idea on the age of that gold ring? Great finds!
Judging by what I have found in the past at this site, and what I know about this site, I'd say early 40's maybe late 1800's. I'll see what the jeweler says. Thanks bud, it was a good day to have been in the water, very HOT out.

beautiful old gold :icon_thumleft:

I have some really great colonial sites, farm fields, I usually dig everything but in a couple it is virtually impossible. I'd love to find some colonial gold. I found one gold ring at this same lake that had w-w-w marked on it20160822_124143.webp 20160822_124217.webp I believe that was 1800's gold. Thanks for your reply

Good job th, you had a day. Keep the good stuff coming!
I might make it back there tomorrow, thanks

I've been over this spot a hundred times in the last four years, gold likes to hide. I found this other beauty close by, but in 8ft of water using my hookamax
