...I got one today. It isnt much but its silver . Its broke on the back . I'm going to see if a jeweler can fix it and I'll give it to my niece .

Found it in the woods down by a creek with the Vaquero . It wasnt very loud and discriminated out early right around nickle and thats what I was guessing it was. It must have disc out early because the weld is broke and its not forming an entire loop . 53 Silver had a video of a broken ring that did the same thing .This was about five inches deep . I was using stock coil and sensitivity at the end of the red to try and get greater depth . Threshold to a hum and balanced neutral .

This ring is silver . I found a dozen silver rings before.The spot I found the ring is very alkali and eats pennies and nickles up . Its white metal , absolutely no rust , some black tarnish , a turquoise stone but there are no markings on it .

That's one of those nice little surprises dug up that keeps us addicted. Ha! Wanted to agree with you on broken bands will give different signals. A few years back I was hunting an area with a Tesoro made unit with stock coil and hit a 12-kt gold ring with a broken band. It gave me a very repeatable "double-beep" sound as if a coin was lying vertical in the ground but I dug up the ring laying horizontally in the ground.

This was bent all out of shape and separated . I thought it was a kids ring . I reformed it toady by putting it over a sharpie and pushing on it all over . After i did that it fit my wife . She then went through the rest of my rings and claimed four more.
