Yesterday afternoon I went out to a local park that has yielded a lot of clad and gets enough visitors that I may never get the clad infestation cleared out.
Spent about four hours swinging and found 29 nickels, 43 dimes and 6 quarters along with a number of memorial pennies. I have never found anything even close to that number nickels during a hunt.
When it was getting dark I was on the opposite side of a football field from my vehicle so I decided to do something that I usually do not do and detected across the field. Picked up a couple of coins and then about 2/3 rds of the way across the field I got a solid hit on a target that had some nickel tones to it but I knew that it was not a nickel.
Popped a ring out of the dirt and it was so dark that I could only think that it appeared to be yellow. Got to my vehicle and was real hopeful that I might have found gold.
Magnifying glass showed me that it was 10K. Not much but it is the first gold that I have found in the past four months. A welcome addition to my treasure chest.

The Detector Gods must be smiling on me and trying to make up for the limited use I have had of my left hand for a couple of months due to surgery. I have been out three times this month and found four sterling rings and one gold. I am a happy camper.
