I went out for a couple hour hunt before dinner Sunday and found my first gold ring with a big fat nitro unfortunately. I hunted a softball field some and then the soccer field for a while at a nearby elementary school until some kids left then hit the playground and found the ring first and about only target in the gravel, it had been swept clean by somebody before me. I found the fiver and earrings by eye and dug $2.47 in clad. I was pretty sure ring was fake when I found it but after 2 cleanings it looked so good I talked myself into believing it was real. Took it to a jeweler friend Monday morning and received the bad news.
