The three year long golden drought has ended!!!!!!!!

[game over man]

Went to go detecting today in my Great Lake, but the waves were crazy rough, so I tried a trashy spot on the dry sand of a beach nearby a not so great lake. I had the equinox 800 set up to reject anything 10 and below and between 13-19 so basically looking for nickels , coins and silver jewelry. I dug two good targets in about 2.5 hrs The first was a crusty clad dime , the second one was a nickel or so I thought , it was a nice solid 11-12 signal, scooped twice to get down about 6 inches. I look in the scoop as I have thousands of times in the past but it wasn't a nickel or a piece of a pull tab or a piece of whatever. It was this. I try to savor these moments as they are truly rare for me.

This is a nice big man's ring marked 10K and 1/5 TW (of diamonds? no tester) So this year has been pretty slow so far but September is looking up with last weeks find of the Pandora bracelet and todays ring.

Very nice! did it come out of the ground looking like that or did you clean it? Beautifull ring!

Nice ring! You'll find a lot more gold if you put all those number you disc out, back into the machine. You'll remove a lot more trash out of the lake too!

It came out of the dry sand, I just used a toothbrush and a little soap and water.

A solid 13 is a nickle on my Nox. I wouldn't exclude that. But I do hear some Nox's see nickles as a solid 12. Hmmm
Good find!
