I went early this morning to knock out this field before it gets too hot. Right off I started getting penny after penny, so I raised my discrimination to not accept zinc pennies. This place is covered in them. I'd probably grow old and die before I got all of them, and still not get this field done. Anyway, I ended up with the normal amount of clad for this field, and one heavy ring. It rang in a solid 12 on my Whites where can slaw, foil, and gold ring in. It's not marked so I guess it's not gold, even though it weighs 6.7 grams. I guess it could be a stainless steel ring, I've never found one of those. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
UPDATE:
Took the ring to a jeweler and was told it was Tungsten, and they are simi-expensive rings. So, it wasn't gold, and it wasn't stainless.

Re: New Field 3rd Hunt

Wow ,thats a lot of digging! Nice ring.
 
Sweet piggman another ring, wow your on a roll, nice hunting there, the ring i found yesterday same thing looked like gold but not marked, i dunno what yours is , wtg later tg
 
Nice hunt Piggman! Do not dismiss the ring as not being gold, I found a nice ring, unmarked, with 11 Diamonds last summer. Had it tested, unusual 12K gold with real diamonds. My Mother in law has it now and has not said one bad word, to me anyway, about my detecting since, LOL. Well worth my loss in my book! My wife suggested I give it to Mom in law, at first I said are you crazy? My best give away ever. HH and I hope it is the real deal, Mike
 
Nice ring and other finds Dave, congrats!
Maybe it's an oldie and the hallmark has worn off, hope it's a goldie!!

Smiles!

Took the ring to the jeweler and was told it is Tungsten, so it wasn't a stainless after all. Was told they are fairly expensive.

That ring has a pretty design PM , I hope its gold , but in either
event its a very nice find and grats on the coin haul too :)

Hey Dave, nice ring and clad. Did you use the new coil on this hunt? I went out yesterday and out of 229 coins 155 were pennies (11.40 and 6 fake rings). Way to go on the third hunt.

I'll stick with the 9 1/2" for the fields, I can cover more area in less time with it. Sounds like you did pretty good taking yours out for the day. Congrats to you.
 
??? Dave, you just can't tell what they will make rings out of next. What, bumpers from a 57 Chevy? Nice find my friend. Glad to see your cleaning the field of them pesky old zink pennies.... HH
