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👍🏻👊🏻
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!
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 !! 🤠⚒⛏👍👍👍
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
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.😎⛏⛏🔥🔥
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 ⛏ 👌
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🌵💚
@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!!
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.
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.
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.
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.👍
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.
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!!
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.
Hey there, i'm brand new to detecting/prospecting, but @7:30 you are describing the hot rocks and hovering your detector, i can't help but think of the advice i've been given which is to not dip the coil, but to keep it at a level point while sweeping. Indeed, if i dip my coil while sweeping i almost always get a 'target' sound. So what am i missing here? (Im not disagreeing with what you had to say, and obviously you are having great results.) Thanks for the advice!
I always keep my coil flat while hunting and it will indeed false if coil is lifted at the end of a swing. Not sure what you mean. I do tip it when checking targets to better pinpoint.

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
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!
A wonderful find..
Yes that Gold ring would definitely have a story behind it.
Cheers Famo59 👍🍻⛏🤓

Thanks for the view
Wowza! How eerie. Maybe the gold stamp wore off? I’m glad you had it on film😁
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
Oh my gosh I was on pins and needles! Wow what a find!!!! ❤😂🎉
You sound good and happy! Nice ring!
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!!
I want some of what ever he's smoking! Nice find!
Nugget and a gold ring. That's a great day out Bill. Our old timers over here in Oz only left us buttons 😅
No matter how long you've been metal detecting , you can still get rattled by an awesome find ! Big congrats on that one bill.
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.
Well Ringa-ding ding guess who found a ring?I thought I have heard of everything,thats a new one.Congrays Bill.
,,,hello,,,land o' lakes here.....great find!!!!....I'll do a gold ring rain dance for the good luck.....,,,,,,tnx,,,pat&family.
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
What a great find! You never know what you’re going to find. But any day out and about is a great day.
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.😎⛏⛏🔥🔥

Keep digging ⛏ 👌
Safe travels
A Gold Ring! So cool.

Thanks 👍
Great job all around fam. Always have a blast coming by. Keep on having fun and living the dream fam. Gold Squad Out!!!
WOW!!!!! UNBELIEVABLE GREAT FIND
Once again... dig all signals and you never know what you may find. Nice gold ring Bill.
Thanks Rob
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!
That was a cool find, thanks for sharing.
Awesome find Bill! Glad when the hard work pays in unusual ways!
Nice score on the ring, thanks for sharing.
Awesome find. Stay safe out there
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?

🧐Gold is where you find it!!!! 🤠!!!
Great Hunt !!!!! Congrats !!!!!
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!
Good job Bill congrats very cool
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

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.
I love watching you dig. You are real. The ring was awesome, and you deserve that. Congrats!
Thank you very much
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 !!!!!
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.
Really cool find definitely looks like gold. Happy hunting
Golly great finds! Congrats! The ring is quite a find…. Thanks for sharing.
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
Wow, a much bigger piece of gold than you were expecting! Huge congrats, Bill
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
That’s cool, glad I found your channel, good entertainment and knowledge, 👍
Welcome aboard!
That ring and 1930's dime is a mystery indeed. Thanks Bill.
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!
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.
I kept thinking you were going to find the finger that went with the ring.
Great find brother! Appreciate you, appreciate your videos. Glad you and the fam are doing better! Cheers!
The ring was a great find, good job Bill.
Nice work! That ring was a great surprise.
Yes it was!
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 ring is huge. That dude must have been a giant.
Have to call that ring the scorpion ring👍🤠🌴🇺🇸
That is awesome find, Congratulations
Amazing find Bill! Close call with the scorpion!!
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. ✌️
That was one heck of a awesome day.🤠👍
That's the one aspect of metal detecting I like, you just never know what you are going to find.
Very true Dan
Congratulations on the ring my friend
Thanks 👍
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Nice find man , I want one of those machines.
Great find!!!
What a find! found Gold! Nice one Bill.

Howdy Joe
WoW Congrats 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Well done mate 👍
Early Spaniards that explored the region 1600's ?
Pretty cool find and so deep !
Very cool ring, must have been a pretty big guy lost that. Great find.
Awsome find Bill! Never would have guessed that, nice find!
Cool. I'd be determined to detect everyday or weekly.
Congratulations 👍

Thanks my friend
That's crazy beautiful ring
I think so too!
Cool find, Bill! Congrats!
I'll take it over a little nugget!
Wow...Bill.....what a great find! My advice....buy a lottery ticket real soon!!!
Holy crap awesome find congrats
Maybe that part of a treasure!go spend it have some fun!
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..
Wow what a find, Bill I guess you never know what you’ll dig up.
thats gold ring for sure i found one same way no marking jeweler told me sometimes they may resize ring by taking some off on inside mine was 18k
Thanks for the info
PRETTY COOL
Wow 👌 so cool 😎 😍
Awesome find Bill! You had to work for it lol
I always wanted to make a gold ring out of the gold I find and what's Bill do he finds one already made.
Awesome find!
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 said that in the video as well as put it on screen, It indeed would have helped this time
@@NUGGETSHOOTER Ok, sorry, thanks.
