About An Hour At A Campground

[F350Platinum]

Back at the campground we were at last week, after getting set up for a festival I thought I'd hit the entertainment field before sundown.

It's the small field with a trailer that becomes a stage, about 2 acres. I've had a hunch that there will be some good jewelry here, people dance and drink.

About 20 minutes in after finding a small amount of trash, I got a pull tab (well half a pull tab) signal, a 6/7 that disappeared when I lifted the coil. It was right on top. I bent down with my pinpointer and saw a thin flash of gold, got this little guy:

Sure looked like gold to me. I kept on until it was too dark to dig, I don't want to leave a mess here. Here's the trash:

About what I'd expect to dig looking for jewelry.

For an hour the take wasn't bad, I brought my shovel to get the deeper stuff.

The ring has "10k" and some letters for a hallmark. I hope it's a ruby, my wife's birthstone. She loves it. Fits perfectly.

Good start! The little oval thing was a solid 18, it says "Zildjian" on it. Probably a cymbal bag zipper pull.

I'm using the Equinox 600 again with the 10x5, Park 1, 5 tones, F2=3 to push the bottle caps to iron, there are a lot of them.

Nice find. Good looking ring and good that your wife can enjoy it. Mine could care less about any jewelry. More for the smelter. HH Jim Tn

Thanks Jim. This is gold ring #3 for me this year, 2 of which my wife has claimed. 😀 This one particularly suits her, I believe the stone is a garnet as it is scratched somewhat.

She didn't mind my buying a Deus 2 this year, so anything that makes her happy. The Equinox has found all the gold so far. 🤔

Great little hunt again for you, have you checked the gravel parking area much.

I have found a lot of stuff at the car door area in the parking areas and just wonder if you have done the same.

Good luck on your next outing.

Thanks VL!

Yep, keys and a lot of change. The parking lot will be full at some point today, big fall festival with vendors and such, bands later. Gotta get out there early if I want to get anything.

Good getting out there and getting a gold ring. There's going to be a lot of stuff there.

You're not kidding, most of it is pull tabs, bottle caps and Zincolns now, but I'll find some coins for sure. 🙂

It's always great to find something that the wife likes and will wear. Congrats!!!
