Popular Post Tiftaaft Posted April 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 24, 2021 Had a couple hours while my wife was shopping today, so went to a sports field to hunt for jewelry. Glad I did, early in the hunt got a solid 15 on the Equinox at about 6". Texas turf is getting pretty hard packed by this time of year, so digging was tough, especially working to leave the field the way I found it. Out popped 14k class ring. I was happy to see a name on the inside, and with a little research located the owner. Unfortunately, since passed away, but I will try to reach out to the family to return it. My first gold of the year, and my first class ring. Separate signals on opposite ends of the field, I got similar 12-13 signals, and pulled silver from each... first the chunky chain marked .925, then the child sterling cross. Also a pocket full of clad including a Martin Van Buren $1 Coin. All in all, a good day. ~Tim 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then there's the challenge of not hitting the target with your digging tools when the ground is so hard. Nice work, both the detecting and the researching! Looks like that ring is pretty old. When was it issued? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice work, both the detecting and the researching! Looks like that ring is pretty old. When was it issued? Thanks GBA. Challenge indeed (I put a few pretty hefty gouges in some clad in the process). The ring is from 1985 - I was going to say not too old... but I guess that is still 36 years ago... though could have been dropped at any point since then. 16 hours ago, dogodog said: Great job on the saves!!!!

I think my wife is on to me... she gave me the "side-eye" as I asked her when she wanted to go shopping again... haha.
