Hey all. I did some hunting with my buddy Jerry and we made some good finds. He definitely got the best of it today. I would post pics of the ring too for those not interested in watching the video, but he gave it to the homeowner as we had agreement to split the finds. He figured it would just be easier to let him keep the ring and we would keep the rest of the finds. :)

Too bad about not getting pics, but that looks like a monster huge ring! Congrats.
 

Sweet dig!! Love that monster ring but, that fork got me just a little more excited.
Congrats to both of you!!

I know. Hard to decide between a vintage gold ring and a stunning silver fork! :)
I'm glad Jerry had a great hunt, he was due for a good one.
 

Congrats! Would be curious to see what karat it checks out at. From what I've seen (but I'm far from an expert), rings that were below 10k were marked as "solid gold." So it may be 8k or so and has some age to it.
 

Nice finds. I would be happy with the fork, never found a silver one.
 

I'll take everybody's word for it, congratulations!
I can't view the video.
 

Nice save on the cigar band gold ring!! I got two gold rings last year marked solid gold .. one was 10k and the other 14k if I remember correct. Also some nice plugs, I don't hunt the land but very clean job on those.. Good to see
 

Actually saw the video a couple days ago. You are living in the city where I was born, and I still have a lot of kin there. Keep up the good work!
 

I noticed youve been using the T2 mostly lately. Do you prefer it over the Etrac

Right on. He told me that from his research it's either 8k or 9k and is from the late 1800's. :)

Thanks! And awesome on your gold rings. And yep, both of us are extremely careful with plugs in peoples lawns. :)
