First of all, I wanna thank Mr. Juju for posting his awesome silver and gold jewelry finds throughout the week, because it was maybe the biggest reason for me to dig all that trash to finally get my first piece of gold for the season! So, thanks Juju for inspiring me! You are THE MAN, and keep diggin' and posting those great finds! :notworthy: :headbang:

This hunt actually took place on Thursday, but I haven't got time to post earlier... So, I searched some new lake beaches on the net, and found a few that seemed worth hunting, about an hour drive away.

When we got to the first beach with my buddy, it was my second hole I dug where I found the first silver ring! It was kinda funny, because my friend dug one just like it a month ago or so. :D It was a very small beach, but I managed to pull another ring after a while, which was surrounded by multiple trash signals that made it almost impossible to pinpoint with the E-Trac, but the Pro-Pointer nailed it! The ring was broken, but I bend it back to shape pretty good. :)

The next beach was so full of Skeets that we managed only some €uros before we had to get out of there! I added a pic of my buddy swinging in the lake. The pic is taken around midnight. Doesn't get very dark this time of the year here in Finland! 8)

On the last beach we were just digging coins, and of course I dug a lot of trash also, because I had a major gold fever! And for my surprise it also paid off this time with a nice 14K gold ring, with a little stone in a white gold setting! My first gold for the season, and only the second one I have found in my three season detecting career so far. 8)

My buddy managed also a nice silver heart ring right after I found the gold! :headbang:

Nice amount of €uros too this time. €19.55 ($24.05)

Enjoy the pics!

I really like that Diamond ring !! :o :icon_thumleft: :headbang: :notworthy:

Keep @ It and HH !! :D ;D
 
cool finds ;D congrats :thumbsup:
 
Very nice photo story, Paul! And in FINLAND, home of Sibelius' "Finlandia", one of my all-time favorite musical pieces!!

I'm curious, though. Did you acid-test the other ring you say is junk? Looks too well made, but just a guess.
 
WTG Paul and congrats on some sweet finds. :thumbsup:
Sometimes it pays to dig the lower tones and
some trashy tones to get the gold. HH
Gold Nuggets :hello:

No need to acid test the junk ring. It might look like it's well made, but it's not. 100% pure junk, but at least it looks cool! :D

I went back to that spot where I found the gold ring a couple days ago, and I found another gold ring right where I found that first one! I'm not sure, but it was maybe the exact same hole. I guess I didn't double check the hole after finding the first one! It's a nice 18k wedding band. I'm gonna post some pics later... :P
 
Congrats Paul!

Nice Digs!

So, this time of year you get to dig very late at night and very early in the morning and still have daylight, right?

Oh, it looks like I'll be getting an Etrac this week too.

Good Luck,
Mark
 
For a moment I thought those coins were gold :o ... :tongue3:

Thanks, Mark!

That's right. We can dig through the night without headlamps, nights have that much light. 8) If I would go hunting to Lapland, there would be total daylight 24/7 :D We have the first night sky on August 2nd if I remember correctly...

But how are you? Have you been out hunting lately? I've been watching out for your posts, but haven't seen any... :dontknow:

And nice to hear that you are upgrading to an E-Trac! You'll love it! :headbang:

Well, the metal alloy those Euro cents are made of is called Nordic Gold ;D
 
Nice "stuff" 4x4, that gold looks tarnished some, you must have some nasty soil there.
