It has been raining a lot here the last few weekends, so when the sun came out on Saturday I went to one of the usual parks that I frequent. It is the only park in town that allows dogs to be walked, so I always hope to find a few dog tags :D

I was using my Nox, and was digging a few ring pulls that rang up as a 14. The next signal that rang up as 14 I still thought to myself that it was just going to be another ring pull.....but I am glad it wasn't. I pulled this little beauty out the ground at about 7", so it must have been there for a long while.

It is a tiny 9K signet ring, but it must have been for a boy, as it couldn't even fit over my pinky finger knuckle. It was really small. Some of the stamp is worn away, so i couldn't figure out too much else from them. I need to get a proper magnifying glass out.

I tried to weigh it on my jewelers scale last night, but because I haven't found gold in such a long time :laughing:, the batteries had leaked and messed the whole thing up.

Thanks guys :D

I hardly ever post on the forum, and all i did was look for other people posting gold finds. I didn't even realise that it was the beach subforum :laughing:

If a mod could maybe move it for me to where it is most suited

I will make sure to carry said bucket of sand in the car next time :D

Bam! I guess you keep digging and you'll eventually grab a goodie! Nice!

It is so easy to just pass over some of those pull ring signals when you have already dug more than you can count. You just have to do it though
 
That’s a really nice find. I like gold no matter where you find it. Thanks for posting it.

9K is weird stuff. Sometimes it comes out of the ground looking like it's going to be garbage, and then it cleans up really nice!
