I'm off the hook ... for a while!

My wife has been wanting to find a nice anniversary ring with her 2500, and today she found it! But, instead of the big diamonds she wants, it has CZs. It IS gold, though (9ct). The center stone looks to be about 1ct and the 2 smaller ones probably 1/4ct each. It's even a very similar style setting to her engagement ring and makes a nice match with it's 1/2 ct diamond. It was found at a playground in the bark chips about 1" deep.
She also found a 1950 shilling, 1958 sixpence and 1943&1961 threepences - all within about 6" of each other at the base of a huge tree. She beat me today, but I'm still leading, overall.
Together, we found $7.91 in decimal change. Not a bad day in the park, I'd say!

Congratulations to your wife for finding a gold ring. That is a beaut! But, like the rest of us, something deep down inside keeps us searching, searching, searching.....

Toby, it's your turn next

Nice haul. Hey, A CZ is just a man made diamond. Put them side by side and only a jeweler can tell the difference.

Yeah, until we got home, we were kinda taking bets as to whether or not they were real, although we both pretty much assumed the worst. Our gem tester confirmed - Not diamonds.
Now, she has it as inspiration for what the next "iffy" signal could uncover. She said this one was jumping around a bit and could've just as easily been a pulltab. Personally, I would have probably walked away from it. Maybe I should dig more, and walk less...

Yeah later I'll post a pic to confirm you should dig some more junk or junk signals.
