Not quite the big gold and diamond ring that was my first this year, but hey, gold is gold and I am thrilled.
2.3 grams, came in as a 32-34 signal on the F2 which could have been a nickel which usually is a solid 33, but most time this is a tab or can slaw signal.
That's ok, if it's solid I dig it, even trash, and this is the reason why.

Says 10KP on the ring which I thought meant plated, but after a little research I was very happy to find out this mark means 10 Karat Plumb...which means there is an actual 10 karats of gold in this ring by weight, not about 10k which a usual 10k mark usually denotes.

Not even 2 months into the new year and I have 2 gold rings.
Good average, I hope to keep it going.

I live in Kansas near Kansas city, not super warm here either, and we could have a ton of snow...but we don't.
I consider myself lucky we can hunt at all this time of the year.
