Recovering Relics #37 - Metal Detecting - My First Gold Ring

Today I found my first gold ring! I found it in my backyard using my new Whites CoinMaster. This weekend I also found a wheat penny and an old lock. The gold ring is only 10 K, but it is still a great find! It looks similar to a Freemason ring that I found in my front yard earlier in the year. I had a great weekend of metal detecting!

I just met with a metal detector salesmen tonight, he suggested the Whites CoinMaster if your just starting off and even showed me it. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be getting it for Christmas. First place I'm gonna check is the back yard. My mother told me about a bag of coins her and her brothers buried back there. She said it was a bunch of old quarters, nickels, and dimes and they were dated before 1964, 1964 or sooner quarters, nickels, or dimes are made of silver.

@Mhebner23 Nice man, you'll love the CoinMaster. That'd be sweet to find that bag of coins. Good luck!

Do you have a video of the other ring you found

[RecoveringRelics]

@elizondoj2 Yes, I think you're talking about the ring I found the summer before I found the ring in this video. It's on Recovering Relics #26.

whenever you get that ring near open flame do you see any glowing red markings?

[TechnicianMad]

@bingobongo445 Yes I do

where can i get a good metal detector and how much can a good metal detector be

[RecoveringRelics]

@bingobongo445 I was replying to someones elses question and trust me I'm not missing the point of this hobby, haha. I love metal detecting and the value of my finds doesn't matter to me (unless of course we're talking about a gold watch covered with diamonds, then it would matter, haha). Lighten up man! :)

[bingobongo445]

@RecoveringRelics If your worried about weather the metal detector will pay for it self, then your missing the whole point of the hobby. If you go to Vegas do you expect to win a million dollars,or do you go there to have fun and maybe win a few dollars.

@TechnicianMad  Do you live there no.....then shut up!

[bingobongo445]

Nice finds!

I'm sure your parents are thrilled you are digging holes all over their nice green lawn
