My First Ring!!!!

Hello All,
Today I went to the lake and since we are way behind on our rainfall for the year the water is out farther than normal. I had a big day of detecting planned today. I was gonna get up early and hit the old home site from my last trip and then spend a few hours in a plowed field that was plowed right before hunting season and then end the day by the lake. Well, it was 70 degrees 3 days ago when I planned all this and this morning when I got up it was 33 degrees so I waited around for it to warm up a little(40 was the high) and then headed out about lunch. I decided to go straight to the lake and I'm glad I did because I found my first ring. It's just a little thing and it's silver not gold but it's still my first ring and now that I think about it, it's my first silver find with a detector. :D :D
I know you folks in the north and northwest are probably laughing at me right about now because of my cold day but like I said it was just 70 the other day. I know 40 degrees would be very pleasant weather for you all right now but not for me. I do hope it lets up for you all though.
Anyway, I spent most of my time digging up freakin' pulltabs >:( >:( but I guess that's part of it. I found about 50 cents (all clad I think) which is sitting in a cup of lemon juice at the moment. I'm hoping to go out again tomorrow somewhere.
Sorry for the rambling and happy hunting!

Re: My First Ring!!!!

Yes, 40 degrees would be very pleasant for some of us but a thirty degree drop in temperature chills the bones no matter how it compares to someone else's temp! ;) Glad you got out in spite of that Ed! First ring!! Congrats!!! ~happy dance!~ Wishing you many more rings including that huge gold one! God bless!
 
Re: My First Ring!!!!

Congrats Ed! 8) Nothing like a nice ring to warm you up and (almost) make you forget the temp.

Re: My First Ring!!!!

Man, you have rub in the cold weather thing don't you? Last night we got an additional 12" of snow, near blizzard conditions. Looks like you have a pretty good area to hunt. Congrat's on the ring, unfortunately the pull tabs come with the territory, serves you right.
 
Re: My First Ring!!!!

:)you deserve to find the ring after fighting that weather. have happy holiday's

Re: My First Ring!!!!

Congrats on the ring Ed, at least you're cleaning the beach for others who come after you.
Looks like you got some 'much-needed rain'.

Re: My First Ring!!!!

I see bunches of junk that you have cleaned outta the water! Good for you! It's all part of it......then when you think it's a bust....then BAM!! Rewarded with some jewelry! Gotta love this hobby. Your persistence paid off! Now go find more!
