Great day out bill how much does the ring weigh? And did you test it to see what karat it is? We would like to know I’m guessing 18k thanks for sharing see you on the next one👍🏻👊🏻
6 grams,14K, turns out it is stamped I just couldn't see it without my glasses lol
I hear you Bill........ I'm no spring Chicken. I have to use a magnifying glass to read stuff that small! LOLOL@@NUGGETSHOOTER
@@NUGGETSHOOTER So that is about $150-200 melt value. Not bad day.
@@NUGGETSHOOTER just subscribed. 👍
What I like about your videos is that they are not edited. You see the good and the bad. Great work
Oh my gosh I was on pins and needles! Wow what a find!!!! ❤😂🎉
O my Bill when you got that ring I about fell apart. Good job sir. Thank you for taking me along. That is a huge ring.
Any time!
That ring is a cool rare find and the nugget too!
I've dug .22 casings a foot or more deep that scorpions took into their tunnels and that's what I expected it to be.
They sound good that deep too.
I left the area Monday and hunting Gold Basin for a week or two while it warms up some up towards Alaska.
It was great to see you again my friend!
Keep digging ⛏ 👌
Safe travels
Wowza! How eerie. Maybe the gold stamp wore off? I’m glad you had it on film😁
Definitely a pack rat hoard found. Was detecting around some old mines last November and no gold but I did get a 1905 Barber dime.
Nugget and a gold ring. That's a great day out Bill. Our old timers over here in Oz only left us buttons 😅
Nice gold,my grandfather made rings by hand,last one he showed me how it was made from a silver dime,I was 12 or 13. Just ran across your channel,keep digging,thanks!
A wonderful find..
Yes that Gold ring would definitely have a story behind it.
Cheers Famo59 👍🍻⛏🤓
The good thing about the big Minelabs is you hit targets deep.👍 The bad thing about the big Minelabs is you have to dig deep targets.😲😅 Good job on that ring my friend. Thanks for sharing Bill.😎⛏⛏🔥🔥
lol Chuck
No matter how long you've been metal detecting , you can still get rattled by an awesome find ! Big congrats on that one bill.
Ya got gold, just not what you thought....lol That is awesome Bill! Gotta love finding a gold ring where ya least expect it!
isn't that the truth
I kept thinking you were going to find the finger that went with the ring.
Once again... dig all signals and you never know what you may find. Nice gold ring Bill.
Thanks Rob
,,,hello,,,land o' lakes here.....great find!!!!....I'll do a gold ring rain dance for the good luck.....,,,,,,tnx,,,pat&family.
That was a cool find, thanks for sharing.
What a great find! You never know what you’re going to find. But any day out and about is a great day.
I heard that in the old days one could pick up free nuggets off the ground in the Bradshaws.I had a gold claim right outside of New River and had to sell it when my partners son died.
Nice finds! That's an old ring for sure as they didn't always mark them in the old days. Might have even been made by a miner. Totally awesome!
Big ring! Congrats! Heck of a find!
Nice score on the ring, thanks for sharing.
Early Spaniards that explored the region 1600's ?
Pretty cool find and so deep !
That's the one aspect of metal detecting I like, you just never know what you are going to find.
Very true Dan
Unreal finding a ring out there, wow! Amazing!
@Jason D. What a find, indeed! Question is how did that ring get down into that hole so far into the ground… if we’re talking naturally, it would have taken, wow at least three to four hundred years? Probably longer. Maybe a ground dweller took it under ground for his own little keepsake… I think that’s the story here, but WOW I couldn’t believe he pulled that ring out of that deep hole!!
Great Hunt !!!!! Congrats !!!!!
Hey Bill😃 If we could all make money off the wire we chase in the desert😁
I was not expecting that beautiful ring💥🌟 Fantastic💯 I love the Mercury dime story too. Glad that wasn't a live scorpion😯👍 Stay safe out there🌵💚
Thanks 👍
Great job all around fam. Always have a blast coming by. Keep on having fun and living the dream fam. Gold Squad Out!!!
You sound good and happy! Nice ring!
Awesome find Bill! Glad when the hard work pays in unusual ways!
I'd still watch it the video was just 45 mins of pulling wire chunks 16 inches deep. Awesome video man. Thanks!
Awesome, thank you!
That’s crazy Bill. The same thing happened to me in Quartzite, found gold wedding band. Haha
How cool is that and I know someone that lost one here while gold hunting
I had that ring on my finger the first time at your shop ! Bill is a great guy very helpful, got me into a minelab gpx 6000 can't wait to start finding treasures
That’s cool, glad I found your channel, good entertainment and knowledge, 👍
Welcome aboard!
HOT DAM BILL!!! Nice Find!! It DOES pay to DIG THOSE TARGETS!! LOLOL Even in a HAMMERED AREA!! Continued good luck and Have A Good DAY!!
Hi bill, hard couple holes dug today, I was digging a deep target once & found a hole nest of scorpions they took off all over YIKES, that ring was a cool find from a big handed guy, wonder how it got there too? Cool finds buddy, haven't checked in for awhile still watching tho, weather looks beautiful. Be well my friend.👍
Howdy Joe
Nice ring, that's odd. Happy Hunting!! 😄
Maybe the rings shape helps to amplify the signal back to the detector, cool finds
I think so too
🧐Gold is where you find it!!!! 🤠!!!
I love watching you dig. You are real. The ring was awesome, and you deserve that. Congrats!
Thank you very much
Have to call that ring the scorpion ring👍🤠🌴🇺🇸
Good job Bill congrats very cool
Congratulations on the ring my friend
Thanks 👍
Nice work! That ring was a great surprise.
Yes it was!
I want some of what ever he's smoking! Nice find!
Awesome find. Stay safe out there
Wow !! That's the best "trash target" ever !!! Well worth the frustration trying to chase it.. lol!Just goes to show how a heavily worked area can still produce. Nice work Bill. All kinds of shiny ! Yeehaw !! 🤠⚒⛏👍👍👍
Thanks for the view
I'd say that ring is local made of local gold which I'm sure could be tested without damaging it! Fascinating to think about the man's family and the matching slightly smaller ring that probably adorns the finger of a great grand daughter or grand daughter.
That ring and 1930's dime is a mystery indeed. Thanks Bill.
Well Ringa-ding ding guess who found a ring?I thought I have heard of everything,thats a new one.Congrays Bill.
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Glad to see you are back. One nugget and a ring.... Never know what going to come out of a hole-- definitely dig all targets...
yes sir!
Golly great finds! Congrats! The ring is quite a find…. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, a much bigger piece of gold than you were expecting! Huge congrats, Bill
WOW WOW how sweet is that Bill ? nice ring I'am with you if it could talk. Great day for sure ,how fun was that !!!!!
Hi Bill, thanks for the video! 1) Would a pinpointer be of use to you once you are in a hole? 2) Is a "hot rock" a rock that sets off a metal detector? 3) Have you ever found a meteorite? 4) Are you hunting on public land, or did you need permission/a permit? I realize that I asked a lot of questions - whatever you can answer is great thanks.
I said that in the video as well as put it on screen, It indeed would have helped this time
@@NUGGETSHOOTER Ok, sorry, thanks.
Would be so cool if that ring could talk. Awesome find and a nugget to boot. Thanks for sharing, good luck, happy hunting and take care. ✌️
Wow what a find, Bill I guess you never know what you’ll dig up.
Great find!!!
Always good to see you Bill. LOL, I thought you would need an excavator for some of these. Any way you look at it today was a good day. It must be gold to have sunk that deep.
Bill, well heck yeah that was a great BIG surprise for sure. A Huge congrats on that gold ring sir - good for you!!!
Take Care
Rob / FlThunder
I like your advice of digging everything out there. It's probably best chance of finding a nugget next to some trash.
I'm Jonesin to get back out.
That's crazy beautiful ring
I think so too!
Wow...Bill.....what a great find! My advice....buy a lottery ticket real soon!!!
Great find brother! Appreciate you, appreciate your videos. Glad you and the fam are doing better! Cheers!
Congratulations 👍
if you find a piece/nugget, would you then sift the surrounding area for more? or just check it with the detector?
Both when testing..
Prospected with my 6000 for the first time and found four rough little nuggets last Saturday afternoon. Sunday, for me, produced only trash - but my partner found a 22gram specimen in a detector hole. Sounded like a piece of trash! Congrats on finding a gold ring.
Thanks Ken
I'm with you I think the pack rat took that ring down to that level. You did some crazy digging there. But you've got to keep digging until you find the target. They are disappointing when it turns out to be trash but part of the game. Great video and a good lesson Bill for those who give up early. You just never know what is making the detector sound off.
PRETTY COOL
The ring was a great find, good job Bill.
Well done mate 👍
That is awesome find, Congratulations
I got some news for you. I worked for Carnation in 1970 our product was caned milk and we soldered all the fill holes in all the the cans. So the can you found could have been from the 1970's
Thanks I was told that they stopped using solder on food cans in the 1920s I knew other countries still do it.
@@NUGGETSHOOTER What I didn't say was how much I enjoy you videos. Thanks keep up the good work.
amazing find!!!!
Amazing find Bill! Close call with the scorpion!!
very cool finds!
Cool. I'd be determined to detect everyday or weekly.
That ring is huge. That dude must have been a giant.
WOW!!!!! UNBELIEVABLE GREAT FIND
Very cool ring, must have been a pretty big guy lost that. Great find.
Go get em pops
Wow! You know someone was kicking himself once upon a time...unless it came off a dead man's finger.
Awsome find Bill! Never would have guessed that, nice find!
That was one heck of a awesome day.🤠👍
What an amazing find Bill, definitely a nice piece of gold too. 🤠⛏️🇦🇺
Really cool find definitely looks like gold. Happy hunting
WoW Congrats 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Maybe that part of a treasure!go spend it have some fun!
Jackpot! What a cool find Bill!
Great find unbelievable 👏 keep up the great work
Great video, very entertaining!
Thanks for the visit
Somebody besides you was digging deep around there, Bill🤨🧐👍
That was awesome Bill, a nice little nugget and a big ass gold ring. I would be jazzed as well. I was down there at the end of March for about a week and it rained twice, one little sprinkle and the other was actually a pretty good rain,I was really hoping it would continue but it sounds like that was the last time you guys got any moisture. I'm really sorry to hear that. Great video Bill thanks!!
Thanks my friend
That's where my ring went :p
🌟Being round makes the ring react with the coil, at a far longer distance, being gold also helps.. lol.🌟
You got that right!
Great find! You deserve it. If you turn invisible or start calling it "my precious" you may want to think about reburying it.
lol right?
No way, congrats buddy. Kenny
Thanks Kenny
Cool find, Bill! Congrats!
Sweet find!
Yes it was!
