metalfun said:I am sooo excited - I found my first gold ring today with my Excalibur 800!! The ring is a 10k gold black onyx with a small stone in the middle!! I've only had the Excalibur a couple of weeks and I'm sure this ring isn't much to you veterans, but to me it was GREAT!!! I want to say a special thanks to Waterdog, VaBeachRon, and Gulf Hunter!!! I had read so many forums by Gulf Hunter I felt honored to get your reply! Thanks to all you guys!!! I'm still having trouble pinpointing in the water and this ring was found in a fresh water lake only about 20 minutes from home. Any help on pinpointing in the water would be greatly appreciated. I have a small hand scoop and a long handle scoop, and seem to be doing better with the hand scoop. This find was GREAT for me and guess what, my wife wants to keep the ring (imagine that)! Thanks again! You guys are great and the Excalibur 800 is the bomb! Happy Hunting!
They all want to keep all our gold finds, so next time do not tell her. Very simple!
