My son and I went to the flea grounds today,I stepped out of my truck turned on my DFX balanced it,swung it 2 times and got a signal that bounced between 18-24,1 inch under the grass was this gold nugget.And it's gotta rock in it that I think is at least a carat.We have some other stuff to post in a while.I think this is the most beautiful thing I ever found.I went to a local dealer this morning and he appraised the ring at between 1800 and 2000 dollars,who asked if a metal detector pays for its self?WOOOOOOO WHOOOOOO!!!!  Well I went to another jewelry shop this evening and HOLY COW! He valued the ring at retail of 3800 dollars and offered me 1200 cash,I couldn't resist I walked out of the jewelry store with 12-one hundred dollar bills in my pocket,HELLO V3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
