Hey everyone ! I got out this weekend for two hunts , yesterday not so good today was great ! Yesterday I hunted with my friend Ryan at a local soccer field . My best find was my first hole dug . I had a +2 at 3 inches and was hopping for gold . Well I'm not sure what I have . It's a small ear ring with one large stone and 5 small ones . It has 925 on the stem but the main part has no marks but tested 10K gold .
As for this morning My son Carson and I hunted with my friend Kevin from Lake Tahoe at a local school . My son had the first great find only 15 minutes in ! It was his 2nd ever silver quarter ! It's a worn 1942D and man was he happy ! It took me about an hour to find the goods . I had a +80 at 2 inches , a silver pendent with the name Samar on it . Then the big find of the day came about a half hour later . I had a +32 at one inch and when the dirt came out so did gold ! It's a (750 ) 18K gold wedding band ! It weighs 4.7 grams , not bad . Also found two junk rings bringing my ring total to #152 for the year . Total clad for both hunts was $10.67 . thumbsup01

Look at the smile on your sons face...priceless. :congrats: on the rings and again a huge clad count. I have to ask, about how many targets on average do you dig per hunt?
