cdv Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 I'll have to admit, since the first gold ring that came in as an 86-87 on the screen, I have dug and joked about it every time I dug a zinc penny signal.. Well, last night expecting a tink tink tink in the scoop after seeing yet another solid 86, I got a clank clank clank when shaking the scoop. 7.3 grams of 14k rose gold. My guess is about 200-300 pennies in that span but melt value alone on the 2 rings makes it worth it, in my opinion. Especially when signals are slow to come by.

Skate Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Since I saw your first report I have actively sought out the 86 in the hopes that I too could share in the bounty. Unfortunately all my 86's (and 82's, 83's, etc.) have been worth the zinc they are made out of. I'm not giving up hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I haven't had my Tarsacci out since buying the D2 but I won't sell it. Cliff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
