One hour hunt yesterday. My first gold ring!

[Paul4x4]

Decided to hunt my favorite lake beach yesterday a little, and it seems to give up goodies very nicely these days

So it was a quick hunt, about an hour or so, but it was enough to find my first gold ring! It sure is a small one, but it's a ring, it's gold, and it's a keeper! Finally digging those crap signals pays off This was the second gold I've found. Last week I managed to find a small cross pendant, some of you might have read about in the other post.

There was an older couple putting their clothes on after a swim when I dug the ring, and they started walking back to their car when I yelled my buddy I just struck gold. The lady hears it, and asked me if it's ok to come to take a look at the ring. I told her it's ok, and she ran to me followed by her husband, and they both were very excited about the ring. I was acting like it was just a normal everyday find for me. Then the lady asked her hubby to get her a detector too before they left. That was funny

Only €0.60 ($0.86) in spendable this time.

Nice find, but be careful about showing your finds, you'll get alot of false "that's mine" claims.

Thanks everyone!

Why would you like to see a closeup? It's one of those things they use to tie up the ends of a sausage skin when making them. I have quite many of those in different colors. I'm kinda collecting them. LOL

Yeah, you can get a good money sometimes when finding lots of Euro coins, but most of the time we dig those worthless old Markka coins

Congrats on your first gold ring. Now it should be a lil easier to find the next one.

I checked the ring today under an magnifying glass to find any markings because I wasn't able to see anything without one. I already thought it wasn't marked at all, when I spotted them on the outside of the ring. It's barely visible, but I think it says .585, which would make it 14k. 8)
