First gold ring of the year for me. Shucks, first hunt of the year!!

[John 'n' W.Va]

My place was covered with snow. I had to get out of the house and thought about a snow hill I could MD.

I got some pocket change and this 44 mag.

A guy came up to me and wanted to know if I could find his titanium ring he lost the night before. I told him I would give it a try. I followed him up to his cabin in my 4 x4 pickup. When we got there his wife had already found it . Lost my chance to be a hero.
I saw this school on the way.

Too much snow. So I decided to leave the mountain top and head for the low lands.

I had another school in mind and the ground wasn't frozen.

Than I hit a nearby park. That is where I found this. Hey, It's only 10-k but it is gold and it is a ring! It hit solid on nickel. If the Ace with the sniper coil couldn't get within an inch of playground equipment, I would have never have found it.

I use to work at the AT&T /Lucent/Agere chip plant just north of you on John Young. I left 3 years ago and I will gladly keep my mountain view and snow. The best thing about Fl. was the MD'ing all year. Cracker houses were fun MD'ing. Living near Kellyco wasn't bad either.

The view out my back door.

The sniper coil will pay for itself quickly in trashy areas.

I work too much. When it ends, I will have lots of time to MD. That's the way construction work is.

What a great way to start off the year. Hope you get many more. All the best to you and your family!

God made that area beautiful! Your post was meant to be-ordered the sniper about an hour ago.

Gold is always a spirit lifter. Nice to see. It always makes me wonder about the person that lost it..
I just got the sniper coil, but haven't had a chance to use it yet. Maybe today.

Glad you found some time to detect and were rewarded. Only 10K? How awful for you?
