Congrats on your finds. it sounds like you are doing very well! As to the gold rings? I think for dirt fishers they are somewhat hard to find. I have 2 in my 1st year of hunting. You really gotta dig a lot of signals and junk, Beale.
 
I dig up a gold ring occasionally - by luck. The meter doesn't give me a positive ID on rings. Mens rings are in the middle of pulltabs and can slaw readings. Ladies rings fall in with foil and smaller pieces of can slaw. Gotta dig to see what it is. The meter does let me bypass most iron, zinc pennies, and screw caps. The meter on my Cortes IDs coins correctly down to 5 inches deep. Air tests show me that ladies gold rings can be detected deepest with min discrimination, less deep with a little more disc, and even less deep with some more disc, and are finally tuned out near the FOIL mark. The parks near me are full of really old pulltabs, and any pulltab reading could actually be a gold ring.
 
Do you hunt many sports fields, soccer, football, etc.? These are good spots for rings. Here's some of my better rings, gold and such. Have another tray of just silver rings.
