Hello Denton,
I'm not an expert by any means..far far from it..but I am starting to get comfortable now with my Garrett GTaX 1000. Have had it for about 4 to 5 years, havent had much luck finding any gold at all..mostly coins..lots of coins...lots of pull tabs too..so i guess if Im finding pull tabs then perhaps a ring may pop up along the way ...I think I may be in the wrong areas dunno...anyway..I live in Ft Worth, if you wanna come down sometime..or if you know or find of any OLD farm houses,,,or Old houses that you can get permission to hunt on...let me know and we will get together ....I'm off work on Tue and Wed during the week..havent won the lottery yet so I have to work for my money... btw..what kind of detector did you get. keep in touch
