Whenever I hunt with people around, I recover the target, give it a quick glance and chuck it in the pouch.
This can be an emotional roller coaster while night hunting.
I dug a honker that rung up as a 12. Let my headlight hit it and it looked good. Nice, heavy and had a nugget pattern. I was giddy. Looked like white gold in the 10+ gram range. I toss it in the pouch after 2 seconds of studying it.
I spent the next hour, hunting in the dark, euphoric as I replayed images of the ring in my head.
Then after awhile, curiosity got the best of me and I was alone. So I pull it out, shine my light on it, and I see markings.....wooot!
*STEEL*
Nooooooooo!.........
Steel ring with an inscription and the maker is a company called "Joop!".
The "nugget" pattern was actually an "animal" pattern.
2 silver rings kind if eased my disappointment......but dang...I got Jooped!
