Heart Attack Moment !!!!!

[dogodog]

Wednesday I had a brief moment in the arctic air that is hammering PA. It was going up to 50 degrees, So I thought I'll take what I can get during this frigid spell. Off to the park I went to try for some silver. I had about 2 hours to complete the mission before my wife decided to cash in on my insurance policy. Three clad and I dropped a silver in the box, A 1964 rosie. Light was fading and a bunch of clad later I decided to detect back to the truck. Starting to get a little colder I needed to adjust my hat and as I sat my Tesoro on my digger I got a nice tone. Thought maybe it was just the ground sounding off. Once adjusted I swung again and it WAS a good target. Time to dig, At 8'' I had the wonderful Heart Attack moment. All I saw was diamond and a big one!!! Well once cleaned I realized it was a CZ mounted in a silver Mexico setting (CRAP). But I thought to myself it's still beats a white metal ring. I think we all have those Heart Attack moments, some are real and some not so much. At least this one didn't turn out to be a pull tab ring. Pretty sure this is what drives us all to keep digging. I love each and every crappy target I dig knowing something good is just around the corner.

Nice looking design, and it's real (sterling?) silver.  The ones that disappoint me the most are the plateds, whether gold or silver.  They can come out of the ground looking like the real thing....  %-age wise I WAG something like 75%-80% of my jewelry finds are junk, and it definitely could be higher.  But I dig coin zone tones and the junk metal base is often copper, which explains my results.

Glad you got out for one nice afternoon.  I don't see many of those in the next 10 days....    But then all eyes will be on your state and its famous varmint.

Stamped 925 mex  Gb. Wish it was 14k. You might have walked right by it, Found it a 50 yards from where we started detecting.

It's tuff finding gold on land. Silver is always welcome.

Very nice hunt and the ring was still a good find.

Good luck on your next outing.
