My 1st gold ring... scored with the Silver uMax

[brianincnb]

Got a 5hr leave pass on July 9th, and had the chance to go out 1st thing
in the morning to a local park. Got to the park at 8:30am and it was just on
0deg. Took the Tesoro + cleansweep out, and set the Tesoro on "tabs" + sensitivity 7.5, and away I went,
I was on a mission to hunt coins!

Dug about 50 bottle tops for the outing, and lots of shredded can.
Scored old bits, $24.50 in spendables, 2 rings: 1 silver 925,
1 gold 750 stamp, engraved 24.06.04,a $2 coin fits snugly inside it.
Didn't except to get this on the "tabs" discrimination setting.
A silver pendant, 925 scuba tank - pity its been hit by the mower. US 1c,
and what I original thought was a penny but is a "Sunshine Plantation, Queensland
Australia Adult" token from the Big Pineapple, QLD. A place I visited often as a kid.
Also found two magnets, which set the Tesoro off. And a few 1c/2c, which I am always very fond of

Caught up with mate, who weighed the gold ring for me: 14.72g!

Nice gold ring and a chunky one too, probably explains why it was detected at tab setting

Good grief! That's a $445 gold ring at today's melt value.

Yeah, it's so big that it could double as a napkin ring.

Man that is a nice haul! The Silver uMax is one sleeper of a machine! It is currently my primary land detector and it's abilities never cease to amaze me. Everytime I use it I wonder why people spend 1000+ on detectors. When all is said and done the Silver uMax will get it done everytime as long as target is within it's depth range.

I enjoyed reading your post. I guess you're in the service too, back in the '70's I had an old White's coinmaster on a base in Hawaii. I found some of the best stuff I've ever found! Also I found my first gold ring a few months ago, that felt great! and the fact you're not afraid to dig up trash, I can tell you're gonna be successful! The best of luck to ya!
