Se Pro finds diamond ring

My hunting companion and I were sweeping an old park in Indianapolis yesterday and he came across a very iffy signal with his Explorer SE Pro using his 11 inch pro coil. He called me over to try my Explorer SE pro with my 8X6 SEF coil. I swung over it and got a penny sound but it was off by a little. My smart screen was jumping around from a ring signal to a penny signal but the sound was steady like a penny tone. My buddy started to walk away And I said are you going to dig it? He said no so I did. Out popped a diamond ring followed by a memorial penny. This is my first diamond in dirt. I have found lots of silver and a few golds in the past but no diamonds What a happy surprise. The center diamond was an oval shape surrounded by small diamonds. Good luck to you all.

Aaaahh man...did you at least give him the penny? Nice bud, bet your friend digs a little more now.

I offered him the ring but he refused it. This guy is a true friend.

Thanks for sharing Coinseeker , read about that story playing out couple different times, i've dug a couple (honkers) that made my heart skip a beat but come to find out their fake! You are a true friend also for offering it back up to your friend! HH

Unfortunately most gold rings come in all over the meter due to size and whats mixed with gold to maintain durability. Fortunately most gold rings are walked over by the average detectorist and most parks have lost gold rings due to the activities of the park goers...which require hand movements and such and are there for the taking as unlike silver coins and even clad are for the most part already taken by the average detectorist.
In other words those that investigate and dig the iffy or odd signals and concentrate on them do find gold rings.
Certainly water or beach hunting increases our chances for gold jewelry but local parks do contain lost gold rings but due to the junk that imitates them certainly are tough to find but again congragulations on a nice find and wonder how many guys walked over that one...

Makes you wonder about all of the previous “iffy” signals that you’ve passed by.

Congrats on your diamond ring find.
