It's not often that I swing my coil over gold but it has happened twice this year, you could say I'm on a roll....smiles. I took my simplex out to our local high school and spent about 90 minutes digging up coins and can slaw. At about the one hour mark I had a solid 34 on the VDI and was skeptical at first but when I saw the VDI never changed, I thought it could be a decent target. It turned out to be a very nice 10k 5R white gold band.
I'm not sure what the 5R means but I assume it's s jewelers mark of some kind perhaps the manufacturer? It was only about 2 or so under the surface and I was actually able to pop it out with my 4 inch screwdriver that I use when probing for coins. I sure am happy to see gold again this year, I just wish someday that I will find a gold ring that will fit me....smiles.
