I finally found my first gold ring. I know its not much, but its 14kt. I've been detecting off and on since '86 and never really dug much pulltabs till recently. It was 34 degrees this afternoon, which was warmer than yesterday, made it out to my old high school for alittle more than 2 hrs. Also found $3.36 in clad. Man, was I happy was I found that ring. I was working in the coin/jewelry program the V locked right on 18, thought it was a nickel. It was only just below the surface. Made my day!
