    LOL...I must be ready for another gold ring! I have been getting lots of pull tabs AND bottle tops.

    Nice ring.

    BTW, you might wanna cut them fingernails. image

    Edit to add: after 50+ pulltabs, you deserved to find a gold ring! Geez! I don't think I'd have had the patience.

    As a matter o' fact, I know wouldn't have had the patience. After the fifth or sixth pulltab, I probably would've cranked up the discrimination. But that's why you've got two gold rings this year and I haven't dug one in several years.

    I would take the ratio of 50 pull tabs to a gold ring. That ring doesn't look like it had much wear before it was lost. WTG

    i've dug a smaller gold ring and a gold coin in the same area. figured there might be more. oh and those fingers are my wife's.

    Wow...nice finds... both ring and coin..... that is my 'holy grail' - gold coins.... I even have a 'wall detector' for old houses. No luck so far... but there is always tomorrow. Cheers, RickO
