Went back for the 3rd time this week to the same little park just down the street from my house. Searched behind a temporary bleacher. See picture with circle behind the bleacher. You can see the white handle of my probe in the circle. This is where I had a strong 20-21 TID on my Nox and was pretty sure it was a penny. So, I dug my plug and popped it open and realized it was not a penny. I thought to myself, this might be worth documenting, so out came my phone/camera. Rubbing my finger over my find, my find began to reveal itself. I pulled my target away from the plug. It was then it sunk in what I had found...a ring... Woo Hoo!!! I could hardly contain myself, what have I found? I called it a day and hurried on home to clean my find. In addition, I found 24 more coins. After close examination, my enthusiasm was crushed. The ring turned out to be nothing more than bling. But nonetheless, it was a great day.

Just bling?! Oh man, that will get the heart beating fast for a minute or two. Still fun to find.
 
Still a pretty ring, even if it's just bling. If it looks as good in hand as it does in the pics, I bet you could get 20 bucks for it easy. I'm amazed at how much some bling rings sell for.
 
Every ring we find is something that someone, somewhere, at some time looked at and said "I think that I'll spend my hard earned money on that", so it's still a win.

congrats
 
I love the posts where the "in-situ" reveals are shown. Takes the viewer to ground zero :cool:
 
Many jewelers will look at it for free. Unless it has RUST anywhere on it or it says Avon or China...make double sure it’s not just bling,even if it’s not marked. My wife’s ring looks very similar and I can assure you that it is NOT “just bling”.
 
This is one of the many reasons I dig penny signals!

Congrats on the awesome find!!!
