change in my bag! Hit a target that I thought was going to be either a quarter or bottle cap (CDN rings low). Boom! My first gold ring!

You can see the 14K but you have to excuse the focus on some of my pictures. It was dawn and rainy so the light was low. Here it is cleaned up. I can't tell if it's a girls ring (pretty big if it is) or a guys ring (with a pink birthstone?). What do you think?

This was at a basketball pad so needless to say it was a clad factory. I've really been trying to work on my prying technique so when the F2 told me this target was shallow, I located it and popped it out. They must have stacked it in the dirt!

All told it was $4.45 from that little tiny hole in one stack. Here's my collection for the day from the perimeter of 1/4 of this pad. I'm thinking the Diamond post is fake because it's big but it sparkles like crazy and doesn't have the usual junk mirror finish on the bottom. Cubic Z maybe?

I didn't get a chance to post yesterday's from the other 1/4 of the pad I did. Happened to have a Wheatie.

I'm looking forward to going back for the other half! Thanks for checking it out.

GOLD! Congrats, I love finding gold. I like the cross in your group pix, I'd like to see a closeup of that, what is it made of, did you check it for maker marks?
 

Hi treblehunter,

Sorry for the delay in responding about the cross you asked about. All day meetings in Montreal all week. It's base metal unfortunately (rings up nickel in an air test). The basketball court is close to a Catholic school so I'm surmising that it was a handout.

Congrats on the finds! That ring looks like it has some nice age to it. Shes a beauty.
