an old 14K White Gold Band:headbang:






As most of you know I have been on a "low conductor" kick lately and I decided to hunt at the area by the lake near my town park where everyone sunbathed back in the 50's and 60's.

How do I know this?...because my "pops" told me he used to spend MUCH time there in his hay-day.
:icon_thumright:
I have hammered it before and found quite a few mercs...but never messed with lower hits.

Anyway...right to the point. ...the SE pro sniffed out this nice 14K white gold band.:headbang:






A few...okay quite a few lead sinkers

were unearthed
...but I don't need to show them:laughing7:

Just another example of a shocker find when I least expected it. It's exactly why I love the hobby.

My best buddy Hercules also liked the find so he was more than willing to pose with it and get some air time as usual:laughing7:









I then drove up the hill to the park area for a while and used the ctx for a few minutes.

I only got one keeper and it was this crusty old V-Nickel from an honest 8"+ down...so I was pleased.

oh man, that gets my old gold appetite salivating...What a beautiful piece. How does the marking look on the inside?

Good thing your dog didn't eat it, you'd have to detect for it again in a few days :-).
 
Great find there brother! Glad you're focusing on the lower conductors too and it seems like it's paying off well. I'm sure you're also starting to dig a lot of nice relics, buttons, etc..... Would love to see a cleaned up pic of that ring!
 
Ahhhhhh, nothing like a nice piece of gold to find solace, right?

When can I go again?! When can I go again?! When can I go again?! When can I go again?! When can I go again?!

LOL!

Great find!

HH!
 
Bryce , Great Find !- The first pic of Herc , looks like he has a mini halo on his head !!! Keep hitting those low signals in areas where
you have a punchers chance of scoring a gold ring - you obviously will dig more rubbish , but you will also score the odd ring of gold !
Argentium.
 
Hey You Found That Gold You Were Looking For! :laughing7: Awesome! I bet at that moment you forgot about all the pull tabs and sinkers that you dug to get to that one beautiful find! And it is Hercules approved! Way to go, your hard, but peaceful work has paid off! :icon_thumright: The V nickel is a nice find too!
 
nice ring. and that v-nick is great too :icon_thumleft:
 
When I was a little boy my mother bought that exact ring at Sear's. My sister has it now. She paid a lot for it in 1957, my dad thought she was nuts. He wore a $10 band until the day he died. Great find...
 
Looks like you dug up a real fatty, awesome find.:leprechaun-hat:
 
Nice - just imagine whats in the water there
 
Nothing like a purdy gold ring to make the hunt
worth while Bryce. Nice find and congrats on the V
nickle too. Gold Nuggets :hello:

:laughing7:...yeah would have had to search for it again. The marking simply says 14k.

Thanks bro. I haven't dug a single button yet???

Thanks my friend. Thjat's exactly what I've been doing...concentrating on site specific areas where I think the chance is better. The one pic does look like a halo.:laughing9:

Thanks Dave. Yep..any Herky approved find is a good one:laughing7:

Thanks friend. The V-Nick is a little toasted on front...but still cool

Thanks G.N.....I don't find much gold so this was a shock.

 
Congrats on a sweet ring, Bryce. :thumbsup: Nice V nickel, too. And Hercules with a halo...too funny. :laughing7:

Wow, awesome finds. What is it about the V's? The face side is always worst for the wear. The back looks real good. Post some pics if / when you clean things up! There's definitely some more hunting to do there.

Thanks Anne. The look on his face is great...he's very proud:angel7:

Thanks friend. Yep...very strange about the V's...but you're right about them. The face on this one is so bad I wouldn't even know it was a V if it wasn't for the back.8-)

 
Very nice, congrats.
 
Congratulations again my friend. Wow, you are really turning up some very nice finds here lately. You must be living right. May the streak continue and the finds be sweet.
