First Hunt of the year nets big GOLD!

[DiggerODirt]

My Buddy Kevin came back from his work in Alaska and we hit a local park where we have had some luck with the silvers last year. Dug a bunch of nickels, then hit a 9-39 signal that bounced around a lot, but the display said it was 5-6", so I decided to dig just for grins...Well, when I saw gold in the hole, I was grinning alright...From Ear to Ear. It was a 16 gram 10 KARAT solid High School class ring from 1970. 44 years old and it looks like it was dropped yesterday...Gotta love real gold!. I am on the hunt to find the owner...All I know is that he attended High School in NJ and went to Syracuse University. High School is hunting down a current address and phone number. I also found over $3 in clad with the oldest coins being 1945D wheatie and a 1951 nickel.
Funny thing is I did not notice the machine ws in Muti "Ferrous" mode until after I found most of this...I knew something was wrong with the tones, but it did not register in my brain right away...lol






Happy Hunting,

congrats on the find, and working on the return, good Karma ... so how did you like the MTF

I guess it works on Gold...It was like hunting in MTC but the tones were lower on those 42-50 conductive targets.
I usually do not use it...Must have changed it by mistake when Ihad it hooked to the computer.
