Gold For Breakfast

[plidn1]

Up at the crack of dawn this morning, I headed over to a park I had worked in the past and had found some nice gold and silver. This park has lots of baseball fields and 2 soccer fields. It is worked to death by everyone, including several detector clubs. I have never worked the ball fields but have worked the soccer fields quite a bit in the past.
I headed right to the soccer fields and started swinging.
After 1 1/2 hours into the hunt, finding the usual eaten up pennies, a few nickels and lots of pull tabs and can slaw, I hit an iffy target.
It was reading 14, 18 and 32 VDI from different directions at 2". As I was on my way out I decided to dig my last target.
I took my screw driver out, did a little probing and popped out a large piece of aluminum.
I got up and swept the hole and the MXT hit and read 14 VDI at 4". Thinking a nickel, I dug a plug and out pops this nice 10 K, 3 gram diamond engagement ring.

If you want the gold, you have to dig everything.

That goes to show that you always need to check you hole before you fill it in. Things like that have happened very often with me also. Great find and super detecting! Do you have plans for the ring? HH, Nancy
