Those are some great finds! I really like the little gold sailboat pendant. That would be great to find the owner of the class ring too!

Thanks Matt, The sailboat was also found low on the slope. It is stamped 14K and weighs 1.4 grams or 1/20th the weight of the ring. 🙂

Love the yellow! Nice work. 

Thanks Cris, It did feel like work when the cold rain was blowing in my face and my hands were numb. However, around 4am, I ran into another hunter who was in shorts and sandals! 😮

Thanks F350, It's been a year of firsts, so far. My first Seated was a fluke but the 20+ gram ring was, IMO, partly due to my hunting strategy. I'm paying the price today though with cold-like symptoms. 😞

Thanks Dave, It 's been a while since I recovered a gold ring over 10 grams so it definitely was a thrilling moment. My wife found the owner on Facebook and reached out but we have yet to hear back. I wouldn't say no to any reward but the experience of finding it was priceless to me!

Thanks RR, I may have heard about that ring in Japan. I think it was thought to be a "Yakuza" or "mob" ring. 😮

Thanks RVP, In my detecting career I've been lucky to have many surreal, magical moments. This one was in my "Top 5" for sure! I am still in awe when I look at it and feel its weight in my hand.

Oh my god, now that’s what you call a ring 😳 Congrats on the great hunting. You and the Cat are killing it with some heavy gold.

Thanks Seeker, I'm very happy with the big ring but that 250 gram, 14K, gold chain that Felix found is insane.

Nice job Compass thats a killer ring. Not sure bout the copper comment a gold ring that large would ring as a high conductor usually..it doesn't need copper or silver in it to do that. Is it stamped?
