Bucketlister! 1957 10k 6.8g. My first class ring. 63 years old, no name inside.

Went out for an evening hunt, local old ball field I’ve found silver at before. Been playing with Field 2 / 50 tones on the Nox, as my main setting lately (formerly my go-to was Park 1 / 50 tones), not a lot of targets at this place, ring rang up nearly a solid 16, a little jump down to 15, and up to maybe 17. Not something I’d normally dig, can only think I dug this because it was so slim pickings, so venturing out, thankfully!

One dime, a nickel and 6 cents including a 1952D wheat. Probably an hour out there. 21¢ and old(er) GOLD! :cool:

Dude, way to go! I have yet to find my first gold ring. Does the 'P' stand for what i think it does?

Thanks Jeff! Most the gold rings I found were with my Compadres, little tougher with the Nox IMO. And what you think the ‘P’ stands for is my guess as well - has to be.

Oh man is that a beauty, awesome ring ! Attaboy GS. Makes me think of all to 15-16-17s I've passed on. Allthough I don't notch anything out, I do have volume set to 10 on that bin. Will have to pay a little more attention. Still looking for my first. Congrats on another fine outing. HH Mark

I normally pass on those numbers also.

Thank you Metal. I figure it would be a pull tab.

Thanks Mark. I have been over this area a few times and imagine I’ve passed on this before.
