Another beautiful day out at the lake, weather couldn't be better. As I start to put on my gear I realize I forgot my digger pouch :dash2: I'm not sure how much !!!! my pockets can hold but I know my wife will be ticked when she runs the laundry :) Working towards the water line I picked up the usual weights, with an occasional coin. Pulled 4 wheats, a 53 Nickel, and a 1958 Cinco Centavos which I later found out is made of brass. As I headed back to the truck I dig my last dig. Bouncing 74-80 VDI I dig it, wondering where this target came from because I have hit this spot many times before. About 5 inches down out pops a RING!!! Sweet, and there is gold showing through... Could it be real, I've been disappointed too many times.... YES! the 10k mark shows up and I have my first gold ring. Nothing special in terms of value, but to me I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Congrats on the 10k, looks like an oldie! I like the Greek Key design around the bezel...

I got that feeling with each first. My first quarter, first silver ring, first merc, silver quarter, silver dollar, and now Gold! I hope I don't run out of firsts, definitely a good feeling.

Pretty cool ring! The first is always memorable. But so are the second, third, ... LOL

That one is really neat though. Looks like an old one!
 
SCORE!! Congrats on your first gold ring. Still looking for mine...
Sounds like that one has been there waiting for you for a long time.
That broken band probably effected the signal you got from it. Skippy(the ring magnet)said something about that in one of his informative posts about detecting rings.
