More Patch Gold

[Mike Hillis]

This little beauty came out of another patch.    This particular patch is an elementary school's wood chip playground that is adjacent to a park.  I found my first gold ring ever there back in 2005.  (I think it was 2005, might have been 2006 as I think it took me nearly 2 years to find my first gold ring).   

Over the years this patch has yielded some nice finds.  It dried up after a while and I put it on a 6 month cycle.   I found this ring there yesterday morning.  10k gold.  About a size 7 I think.   Ring is marked 10k and CZ so the stones are probably cubic-zirconia.  

Very pretty.   My wife laid claim to this one for Mother's Day.

Very nice , Mike! Were you using your E-TRAC?

I did the same thing and only found a small silver ring and a silver crucifix with the 800. No gold. My Nox must be faulty!

Hi Bado,   

 In the wood chips I use the F75LTD with DST and the little 5x10" DD coil.

My wife always ask what I've found when I get home

Too bad on the CZ because they looked at first like rose quartz.  Nice find though!
