First Gold!

I tried to hook up with someone Saturday to go detecting but had no luck so I went on my own to a spot I had been eyeing and had permission to search but put it off since their was only a few square yards of grass there to search.   I guess no one bothered previously has I started getting hits.   I first pulled up three wheaties including a 1955 (No Double Die) and a nice and shiny 1943-P Silver War Nickel.  (first one).  I was finishing up when a got a good ring signal on my MDX.  I have dug up so many pull tabs with this signal but decided I needed to dig this one because it was a strong one.   Out popped a 10K men's ring with a nice stone and two small diamonds.   The two hours today was my entire total for the last 30 days and the tally was:

1946 Wheatie
1955 Wheatie
1951-D Wheatie
1943 P Silver War Nickel
Three Nickles
6 Memorials
10K Men's Ring

Very nice looking ring, Jim.  What kind of stone is in the middle?
JimD

I am told it is a Cat's Eye.  It is a translucent metalic black and gold looking stone.    Thanks Guys.  I appreciate the responses.  I can't believe it since it was only my 6th or 7th time out.   I am going to Hilton Head this weekend and was hoping to do some hunting but broke my toe last night.  Ouch!   No MD'n for a few weeks.

YOU BROKE YOUR TOE !! Ouchy I have broken several and the only thing you can do is tape it to the next one. I hope you heal quickly and good luck with the toe and the beach..
