Hi Folks - Been a long time since I've been on here but wanted to pop in and share a recent find.
Was at a private park in CT last weekend with a friend of mine playing some disc golf. It's roughly about 100 acres... I've use my detector once in the past year or so, and have had the urge as of late to get there again. Well, on my way out of the park I decided to walk over to a clearing behind some tennis courts to give it a swing as I had about another half hour of daylight left.
The first good signal I dug was an old Milkbones dog tag, not a great find but not exactly junk either, pretty cool. I had found one of these before and the owner was happy to get it back after I contacted them so I'll probably do the same and try to reach out to them.
Second target was a penny. Third a pull tab.....
Then roughly 10 minutes in, as I began to pinpoint my fourth target which I was certain was another pull tab, I pull this out of the ground...
My first ever gold. A chunky men's wedding band, about 4 inches down. I was in a 100 acre park, and within 10 minutes I had walked a zig-zag pattern to the exact spot where a gold ring was located because "I had a feeling."
Unreal.
Isn't it amazing when you pull silver or gold out of the dirt!? There's simply nothing quite like it, it's just so bright and shiny and unlike anything else that we pull out of the ground. This really made my day.
