Author Topic: Great Aussie Gold Ring Shootout 2012 (Read 3371 times)

ozjesteroz · « **on:** January 09, 2012, 20:32 »

Hey all,
LazyAussie suggested we should run an informal, friendly comp for 2012, gunning for gold rings.
They must be found with a detector and 9k or greater.
Hopefully this will inspire us all to have our own greatest gold ring tally ever

You just need to post a pic of the gold ring and your updated 2012 tally.
I'll start things off with an old ring found on Saturday 7th Jan

So show us your gold

Jester : 1 Gold ring

Oh yeah what a great idea. I'm in. The way I'm detecting so far this year I should do well

Meggie · « **Reply #2 on:** January 09, 2012, 20:36 »

Oh I'll be in this one too, just warming up at the moment but hope to be on the board soon.

Buttsy. : 1.

and since that's half of what I got last year ..um ...watch out Meggie.. Well maybe not

Maybe being an Olympic year we should have the gold, silver, bronze ( junk rings) medal tallys or should that be metal tallys...

my gold for first week of 2012. Though one is a bracelet

Do rescue rings count?

If so, then here are my first 2 for the year (I may as well get some in before being crushed by Meggie

)

Cheers

My prediction is that those who do the beach scene will win this easily.

In 25 hunts so far in Sydney parks, I've found 3 rings total - 2 of them silver.

You'd think with such a high population there would be a lot more lost jewelry on offer?

Not in my experience...

ozjesteroz · « **Reply #13 on:** January 11, 2012, 19:48 »

Yeah sure Parsec, rescue rings work for me.....you found em, you deserve the cred.
Great start mate.

New members might not now that we don't count gold rings for the awards when you have been told where to look such as a JR job. Found lost and returned award applies then.
Hope you all find plenty in 2012.

Off and running for 2012,1x9ct,this ring came from no less than 16inches down in very wet sand and only gave a single tone change on the sov untill i took a few inches of the top.

It’s encouraging to see these gold ring finds. Could I suggest that the finders also mention what detector they were using at the time and the type of ground they were on?
Eg. Dry /wet sand, water, park, schoolyard etc

i think a lot of gold ring hunters like to keep the details of a find quiet
