first gold ring?

[digginLa]

Got out yesterday and today for a total of about 7 hrs, hit a park up the road in the next town for $1.90 started out using the Omega but there was so much trash that I swapped to the Cibola and 5.75 coil ended up with most of my finds using it around the basketball court and finding 2 quarters beneath the bench that was beside the court, did a quick 30 min hunt around the swings in the towns rec center and didn't find a thing, have a feeling that both of those places have been hunted already. Todays hunt was at 2 different schools in a different town, spent about an 1 1/2 hrs at the first school cherry picking for clad to see if it was worth spending more time there. Again I started with the Omega and ended up switching to the Cibola around the swings, most finds were with the Cibola but probably found less than a $1 there, headed over to a different elem school that I've already hunted once with the DeLeon. Using the Cibola I found close to a dollar just around the legs of the swing sets (there were 3 in a row) mostly quarters with a couple of dimes, I was really surprised that I could get right next to the legs even with the sens over in the orange, no way I could have found those coins with either of my other stock coils. Used the Omega out in the open ground in front and back of the swings started with a gb of 61-64, sens set at 75-80, disc at 40 to knock out the iron and 4 tones. However there were so many pull tabs that I ended up setting the disc at zinc, so I could dig as many "good targets" as possible in the short time I had left to hunt. Found the rest of my coins there approx $4.69, along with a $1.00 token for the river boat casino in Lake Charles, the yellow ladybug (wife says it was the head of a stick pin) and the gold ring, at least I think its gold says 10k on the inside of the band but there sure is a lot of the yellow worn off and don't know if the diamonds are real or not but either way its a ring and if real my first gold! The deepest coin of the day was a dime around 5-6" found with the Omega

Thanks ya'll the ring showed up as zinc with a vdi of 77. I have to say I'm a bit surprised at how noisy the Omega is, I get lots of either hi or low beeps (4 tones) but rarely get a tdi reading all I can figure is the coil is going over a really shallow target that has been disc'd out, not really a problem other than it slows me down when I have to stop and check to see if I can get a good repeatable signal, but its not really any different that what the DeLeon did other than the DeLeon would show the tid of the target no matter where the disc was set.
