First gold ring of the year!

[Skillet]

With all the recent posting about the GTA 1000, I felt prompted to take my 1000 PM for a walk in the park yesterday. This one wears a 5.5" HotHead "Ferrett" coil pretty much all the time.

This is a really good coil for a GTA, by the way. I recommend it highly.

After digging a nice pile of foil,tabs,canslaw and an even dozen coins, I got a signal that read 5.5 -6 on the GTA ID and pinpointed 3" deep. Not really expecting it, I was astonished to see the glint of 14k in the dirt... a big honking wedding band!

This one is a size #12 and weighs 9 grams even.

Thanx for the posts on the 1000, they motivated me to take this old warhorse out of storage!

The good, the bad and the ugly​

Just the good, biggest band I've found so far!​
