Last 2 hunts plus total take since labor day

birdman · Oct 3, 2010

I have always thought of my self as a relic hunter but digging gold is just as fun and even better because of gold prices at the moment. I have been having a blast . My count since labor day is 19 gold rings ,3 are 24K, 2are 18K and the rest are 14K. I also had a surface find of a 24K necklace and I dug a silver thimble ,a few silver rings and two working watches and a couple of hundred in clad. :icon_pirat:

In gold weight alone I am over $3000.00 . I had only dug maybe 5 gold rings before this Sept.
Today I came back with my first white gold ring and it has what looks like a nice sized diamond(maybe a carret) in it and has some good weight to it also . On last weekends hunt I found a nice heavy 18K with a diamond but I will have to get all the stones checked out. I hope to have get one or two more before I leave next month.
Myself ,Crack Badger and hiknmtns are planning a hunt soon so that will be a blast. This is by far the best hobby in the world and Tnet is an awesome social networking site for this hobby :icon_thumright:

.
Thanks for looking and HH. :icon_cyclops_ani:

Not only out having fun with buddies, but getting to put some cash in your pocket. I wish I could join you guys on that hunt :icon_thumleft:

Im the same as you, considering myself a relic hunter but I can't blame you, I'd be doing exactly the same

If I brought that home, the wife would force me to go detecting. WTG! :notworthy:

"If I brought that home, the wife would force me to go detecting. WTG! "

My wife has never cared about anything that I have dug until now. :headbang:

I told her I would give her half after the cash out. :icon_scratch:

that is amazing! congrats on all of the gold

Marc(NB) · Oct 7, 2010

OMG youve got a gold mine! :thumbsup:

underdogger · Oct 7, 2010

Here is a thought . Sted of cashing. Stay out another month and keep doing what you are doing and open up your own jewelry store you would make more money than scraping . Or sell on e-bay. OMG what a nice bunch of finds.
