Going Down

[ROCKINGCM]

Local lake is exactly one mile from my house. It was built in the 1880’s and started allowing recreation about 1917 as far as I know.  I work swing shift so I have all morning to screw off and now that it’s kinda cooler, I’ve been hitting the lake.  Nothing great so far but I found a ring that is gold in color but must be Carbide. It won’t scratch on the stone. It only has a CH marking inside.  Here are a couple pics and I’m using the Deus 2.  It’s kinda fun and different from my usual gold rush relics.  I’m hoping for some gold rings as the lake drains in the fall.

Awesome hunt. Some of those finds look old. You should get some good old coins and gold from there.

Yep I'm sure you will be finding more cool  stuff...It's nice to be able to go on a quick hunt after work esp at a lake with that much history. If you could find where there were some old events or popular swimming holes that would be golden. The best thing about our hobby is all of the possibilities it's endless.

Nice finds! Yeah you get a bit of old and new there. 👍

"CH" could be country of origin, or "chamfered".

No doubt you will pull some gold out of that place.

Yep CH is probably China. They make a lot of jewelry these days.

It has a chamfered inner and if wet or soapy slides right off so, buy a ring that bites the finger a bit.

Rock nice on the collection!!! Screwing off while not at work is one of my favorite things to do. I'm thinking you will most likely find gold there, just a matter of time. Don't be shy to the shade tree area's, too. They also produce from people who are not sun worshipers. Sometimes the odd spots produce the most finds. Great post!!!!

almost forgot!!! CH stands for Charlie Horse, That's what you get when you sit down after a long day detecting.

[ROCKINGCM]

dog you are correct about the Charlie Horse. Under the trees is a crown cap nightmare so I’m sticking to the sand.

Nice finds. I would still do the acid test on the ring.
