Quick park hunt on 8/27 yields gold ring #2 for me

Kind of a shocker since my 1'st gold ring came just 2 months ago!

I'm slowly getting back to doing some detecting, and hit a park here in CT to shoot some video of my gear this past Thursday.
The place has a beach so I wanted to hit it afterwards, but it was too nice out and there were a bunch of people using it, so I passed.
Instead, I started swinging on what looked like a popular field. Popping up the usual park stuff, clad, pull tabs, and slaw for maybe 15 minutes until I got a solid 13VDI on my V3i. Up comes a somewhat squashed ring. I gave it the stink eye right away, it's kind of light, no visible markings, and it looked cheap. Put it in my pocket and moved along. Swung for another hour or so and called it quits when my pouch was full (of junk). A 56 Wheatie was the only other find worth mentioning.

Got home and gave the ring a scrubbing with a toothbrush and toothpaste, and hey, there's a maker's mark on it. It's tiny and I can't make it out with a 7X loop. There's a couple breaks in the metal, and no signs of plating, so I believe it's a 10k ring as it doesn't seem to have the same luster my 14k does.

nice recovery my friend , your doing amazingly well with that machine !

Cool find Bri!! I dig all solid signals in the teens,,, and I've got a big pile of trash to prove it. This helps me remember why we should dig it all.

Sweet gold !

Good looking gold Brian! Did you get it on video? Is that an H on the ring? Congrats!

Thanks all!

I'm one week away from owning it a year Dan, and I've gotten to know it pretty good. 13VDI is becoming a favorite number for me. I've dug some good stuff in the woods around that number too.
I didn't live dig it Drew since it's a park full of low tones, but when I saw the ring I dug out my phone and got it still clotted with dirt. The vid is up already, you can hear me question whether it's real or not. And yeah, that's the letter H.

I didn't dig it all GA1dad, but most of it. Some jumpy tones hitting the wrong frequencies stay where they are for another day.

wow, awesome find! Still digging the low tones here and getting fooled a LOT. Nice to see one of those low toned bring up the shiny stuff! :groovy:

Nice ring and hard to find!

Nice work! Good to hear you're getting out some.

Congrats!! :grin:
Gold is a good find no matter what form it comes in!! :thumbsup02:
I found one similar. But mine had a O for the letter. And it's 10k.

Nice find Bri I need to get out more and find me a gold ring :congrats:

Nice going on that gold ring .:congrats:

Great Job Bri. That ring is Gorgeous erfect10:

Great find Bri ! Always nice to find gold....!!
