Gold Coin! - Gold Ring! - Dancing The Beefcake At The High School...
I went back to the sports field at the old High school today. I started in the same corner where I found all the stuff from the "High School Daze" post I made earlier this week. I had visions of Silver in my head. I moved at a slow pace and overlapped my swings and listened, listened for that sweet sound of Silver. 20 feet into the hunt I got a solid Nickel hit, a 19-20 VDI with a tall Sinagragh reading. I never pass up a Nickel because it just might be a Gold ring. I pinpointed to 3 inches and dug. It crossed my mind that a Buffalo Nickel would be nice to find. I folded the horseshoe of grass over and didn't even have a chance to use the DX-1 probe. What popped out of the hole was a total surprise.

The coin turned out to be a .900 1945 Gold "Dos Pesos". I have learned that this is a quite common gold bullion coin. It is very popular for use in jewelry. Rumor has it that the 1945 coins where re-struck at a later date for this purpose. This is my third gold ring and the largest.
This ring was huge! It easily slipped onto my fat finger.
The ring weighed in at 8 grams. Not bad for a days swing'in. :tumble: The "Beefcake dance started around now...:spin::tumble::spin: I hunted another 45 minutes and could not concentrate, so I packed up the gear and headed home. What a great way to start the weekend.
Keep Swing'in
