Etrac hits gold two days in a row

[DrLizardo]

Hello E-tracland

This past weekend I hit gold two days in a row. First time I've ever done that. I've been hunting an area that has produced an LC and a couple of silver dimes for me. The 1949 class ring is 10k and it hit at 12-17. I think it's the first 12-17 I've ever dug that wasn't a pull tab. I'd only ever seen a non-pulltab 12-17 once before, when some guy asked me if the etrac would detect his wedding band. Most of the rings I've dug have been closer to nickel signals.The 14k cufflink was 12-06, very deep. One thing that was very noticeable with these two targets is that they gave a much fuller, punchier signal than an aluminum target that has the same numerical readings. But I still dig a lot of pulltabs anyway, just in case. I found the camp fire girls buckle yesterday in a different area. I'm sure it's fabulously valuable but I can't find one for sale on ebay or elsewhere, so just how valuable is conjectural at this time. It's solid brass, rang up at 12-40.

That was a very nice day! I haven't found any gold in years (I have dug my share of pulltabs looking though!).

Nice Ring.
Maybe you will be able to find the owner or owners family.

Class rings are SO easy to locate owners...

HH,

Nice Finds on the Gold... very good hunt

Congrats on the Gold! If you're a jewelry hunter I'm curious to know the pulltab/gold ring ratio... Have you ever considered doing a trail where you count every pull tab and see how many it takes to hit gold? I'm primarily a coin shooter so would be interested to know.

Great going on the gold! The class ring is very nice.

Nice Ring.

My First Gold Ring Was A High School Class Ring From 1933

The H.S. Was Torn Down In 1980 And There Were No Records On Line Of That Era Especially Since He/She Would Have Been At Least In The 90's

But I Did Try To Find The Owner And The Ring Had No Karet Info On It But Was Tested For 14K And At That Time Gold Was Not That Expensive, I Think?!

I don't know if the Stevens School in Germantown still exists or not. Grace Kelly went there. I found images of its 1944 year book which has 13 young women for a graduating class. So I guess it is or was a very small expensive school for the elite. Which is in keeping with the area that I found the ring in. The ring does have the owner's initials, but the owner would now be approximately 81 years old, if she is still with us.

Sounds like a really fun research project =) If the initials and year are there you should be able to find the owner or relatives. Now you've got me wondering if she's still alive. If she is imagine her excitement to see a ring she lost almost 63 years ago!
