Surprise gold and silver

[JVA5th]

Wanted to get out and metal detect since my work is going to have me on only one day off after these days off for a good while. Didn't think I'd find anything as I just wanted to get out so went to one of my spots I've gone over and over again and decided to swing low and really slow and dig everything. Well got 2 gold rings, one silver ring and one silver pendant along with 2 wheaties 1947 and 1957. Got a decent amount of non precious metal jewelery as well. One gold ring has no marks looks older but I'm sure its gold the ruby one is marked 10k. Silver ring is mark S.S. just was so pleasantly surprised with what came out of the ground today.

God in his infinite wisdom has sought to reward, confuse, and punish metal detectorists ever since the modern metal detector was invented. The flash of gold, the timeless nickel, and the ever-present pulltab all show up on our screens in the same general notch in the non-ferris metal arena.

Makes it all that much sweeter when you think you are pulling up the thousandth pull tab to see the glint of gold. Both these rings I though were trash they did not sound good whatsoever so felt good to get those two golds.

You totally conquered it on that outing! Excellent digs, & congratulations!
Lets give it the perspective it needs on junk aluminum/pulltabs/foil and all other junk dug if you would, please.
Also, what was the take on modern coinage totals?
Way to work it! All those spots you hit that have only junk targets, meaning others have cherry picked the h e double toothpicks out of, still have promise, with sore knees and a lot of determination of course.
More LUCK next time out and thanks for sharing.

I'm beyond stubborn. I dig often 8 or so hours at a time all signals til I'm hurting. Haven't hit gold like that in awhile but kept trying and just today for some reason it happened. Only difference is in this spot the soil is usually wet but it was dry as can be this time along with swung my coil extra slow and slowly covered ground. I work hard at the hobby don't have the brain to tell a tab from a good thing so lots of digging. Haven't hit anything expensive or historic yet but I'll always keep trying.
