Man, am I drunk! Big GOLD found!!!!!!!!

[cwilk]

I decided to go out after dinner and finish off the day right. Figured I could hit a few coins and make it a bit closer to my 10,000 in 2008 goal. About 1 hour in I hit pop top signal number 200 of the day. Turned out to be 14K Flower Ring on 14K Chain, total weight 17.7g. I was super stoked. Went out and got way drunk. Came home and posted this with the rest of my garbage including a 1944 wheat, a 50 cal musket ball, and a mess of coins. Hope you understand. Happy hunting.

Nice, that's some good weight there. I've only found one gold chain, a dinky one. I need a big honker like that.

 

[Yaridnac]

It was down about 3 inches, in very dry turf, on about the 40 yard, line of a middle schools practice soccer field. The field also doubles as the outfield of a baseball field so it was also in deep, deep, center field. The chain is marked 585 three times. Also Italy. The ring is unmarked but my Mizar gold tester places it at 14k. The ring is 6.40g and the chain 11.3g. I did a long bark chip hunt earlier in the day yesterday and found no jewelry.

I'll be on the couch all day today. No detecting until my head stops pounding. Hopefully tomorrow.
