My first jewelry...and BIG...but....

[Spm673 (The Jersey Digger)]

But not real... I have dug junk rings before but they always came out brown and ugly, knowing they were fake. This one came out nice and gold and lots of shinky rocks.

I got a steady 81-82 on the At Pro and it was only 4" down. I dug and out came a piece of aluminum siding. Patched up the hole and started again but the same spot I was gettin a 78-80 reading. Redug and saw this in the dirt and my heart really started racing. The first time I was at this location I found a 1918 wheat at 4" so I know to dig all good signals here regardless of depth. As it lay in the ground I saw all of the shiny "diamonds" (25 to be exact). I was thinking I finally found a gold ring. 30 seconds later I saw no markings and the sides weren't completely gold. Oh well it sure looks nice...Maybe some other time.

On a side note I also had my first digger casualty. For $12 and lasting a year I guess it was worth it. Had a back up one anyway. Still wanna get a Lesche though. Thanks for looking and HH all...

Mr Bling is your new nameCongrats. No more relic hunter . I am going to buy you a Lesche for Xmas. Sure looks like gold. Wait till you cut a plug with a lesche. Hope you find some more bling.

Nice fake ring. I hate when those come out. Time to get a lesche.

Don't those TT's have a lifetime guarantee?

[OZARKS]

Congrats anyway! Glad you had fun

Mr Bling doesnt quite fit Tim since it's my first one. LOL. Plus I don't think I can wait til Christmas for a Lesche either...

Rick it is a real ring just not real gold . Even looking at it now it looks so real. It's a good knockoff at least...

Just for giggles, get it tested. Just sayin'. Kinda looks like 10K.

I thought about it Digger but at the bottom of the ring you can see the dark metal where the gold wore off...Bummer

It's a nice looking ring. Nice find.

I ordered the Lesche today from Andrew at NED...Had to get it...

Just wonderin about that ring....does it have any markings?? perhaps HGP over silver? Are the stones prong set or just glued in, often a clue!

No markings at all King. I believe the stones look like prong set but you can also see them through the bottom of the ring. I think it should be solid in there and not see the bottom of the stones...Plus I used a loop and the "diamonds" are scratched...lol
