My first gold ring!!!

[RelicPrime113]

My Bounty Hunter Quick silver isn't so quick after all lol. After all these years of detecting in my back yard, I have finally found my first gold ring! It came up as a pull tab and 5 cents on the target ID. I dug a plug about 10 inches deep and pulled it out. Inside the plug the object looked like a pull tab because it was circular and sticking out. I hemmed and Hawed on weather to pull it out or not but I did anyway because I'm big on removing trash and cleaning the Earth. But to my amazement, the earth has treated me with a really awesome gold ring with amethyst and possibly diamond specks. My hands were really shaking , adrenaline and excitement was rushing through me once again. That same feeling I had when I found my Mercury Dime has come back. The design of the ring is really nice and definitely worth keeping. So for now on, I'm no longer ignoring the Aluminum/5 cents target ID any more. 2013 has been a great huning year for me. Enjoy!

The 10K gold rings I have found came in with a VDI of 53-55 on my AT Pro, exactly the same as nickels. I always dig the repeatable signals in this range. The old style pulltabs are usually in the 65-68 range. The current style tabs that have to be bent and removed also ring in at 53-55....and sometimes drive me nuts. Why would people want to pull them off? Is it like peeling the paper label off of beer bottles

Beautiful ring with elegant setting -- CONGRATS!

After nearly 3 years detecting with my Bounty Hunter Tracker IV, I finally dug my first two gold rings within a couple months of each other. Like you & others mention, both were in areas loaded with junk & junky signals. Persistence pays off! HAVE FUN! Andi
