My 2nd hunt ever - I found a mans 18kt ring !!!!! Look at my finds from the Forest Preserve

I started out in the woods, but the snow didn't melt there, so I walked to recreation part of the preserve. The ground was frozen, so I just surface hunted. I am definitely going back, I got so many hits for quarters , dimes, nickels and pennies, you wouldn't believe it. I don't remember who said to check toboggan hills but I checked it out. I spent around 4 hours combing that hill and found a 18kt mans ring, and a earing (I think is just junk, not a diamond) a Junk necklace, some change and a few old pull tabs.

I found the ring at the bottom of the sledding hill. And it rang on a penny signal!!!! The picture above is the ring and a quarter so you can see the thickness of it.

When I found the ring I saw it on the surface partially covered by some dead grass, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me, I stood there for a good min just looking at it. Then I picked it up, after that I was so happy that I started to see rings everywhere I looked even though they weren't there, so I figured it was time to go home. And here I am telling you!!!!

It has "Art Carved 18kt" the scale show is in ounces. 0.345oz click here to see the value of my ring

I was just hoping to find a silver quarter or a wheat cent, but I never even thought that I would find a gold ring, let alone a big mans ring, I figured that if i did find one, it would be a tiny woman's ring. But mine is solid with no ornamentation on it, just smooth gold ring. I'm so happy I bought my ace 250!!!!!!!!!!!! The 2nd time I use it, it pays for itself!!! Now everything I find is pure profit!!!

I am going to go back next weekend and surface hunt more of the preserve, I can't wait!!!!!!
 
Thanks, man, my hands are still shaking!!! Seriously I was just hoping to find a silver coin at some point, lol I also figured I would find a wheat cent before I ever found anything worth more than a few dollars.
 
Hi Treasurefiend,

That's a great find. What luck. How you gonna top that?

I found one of those Artcarved rings in 14k yellow gold.

The one I found sells for $300 + and weighs less than

half of what your 18k ring weighs. Artcarved rings have a

life time warranty. They are real nice rings.

Mine weighs 4.28 grams which is about 0.151 ounces.

Gongrats on the ring,
 
Nice finds and certainly a great second time out adventure. Just think, you will just get better, and better with time..Though you may not find Gold rings every time out.
 
Thats a nice ring you have there!!!
