After a week of no metal detecting I made it out this morning on one of my field permissions that was not planted this year due to the weather.
I found a few wheat pennies, my 30th silver coin for the year and some brass buckles along with various types of rubbish.

I had a signal on the Nox 600 that was bouncing 11 12 13. But settled in on 11/12. Thinking that it would be pull tab or a nickel what a surprise I had. Without my prescription glasses on I thought I had a gold coin in the dirt clod. Instead it was my first gold ring with the Nox.

There was no markings in the band. So I took it to a local pawn shop and it tested 10K. It weighs out at 1.8 grams.

I was running in Park 2, it ground balance that 55 iron bias 1 and my recovery speed at 2

Very nice dig, Dan! Definitely looks like an old one, especially since it doesn’t have a marking for purity. Congrats on breaking the gold barrier with the EQ!

Fields are just about the only option here now...it’s sure been way too dry for anyplace else. Most of my field permissions that weren’t planted are now choked with weeds (or sunflowers!):

Thank you all for taking the time. Hopefully I get a few more surprises like that one.

The last time we were out you mentioned that I should try changing up my program. So I switched out from the normal field 2, and gave park 2 a try. Not sure if it was the program that made the difference or I finally swing my coil over it. Thanks!
 
Nice ring! I need to get out to my fields again!

Hit those old home sites in those fields. You never know what you will find best of luck.

You are definitely right gold is gold. Hopefully your next one will be a biggin.
