[QUOTE="wiley coyote, post: 636474, member: 7587"] Thanks RM. It's great to find rings etc, but here's one that causes me a bit of concern each time I look at it, as to why and how, did it end up where I found it. I was out the back of Kingower in a very isolated area, patch hunting. I was half lost heading back to where I thought my car was, detecting as I went, when I got a loud beep, scratched the surface with my pick, which revealed the clasp of a small childs purse and the ring. I had a quick detect of the area, then kept walking to where I hoped the car was, found the car and went home. Was it just a case of a child losing her purse and ring, or was it a case of a lost child, who may never have been found. If it was back in the gold rush she would have been in deep trouble, as it is so isolated there, even now. The nearest diggings are about 3ks away, and no proper roads nearby, only tracks. wiley.[img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/7587/1646402027_img_20220305_000408_1.jpg[/img] [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/7587/1646402027_img_20220305_000431.jpg[/img] [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/7587/1646402027_img_20220305_000743.jpg[/img] [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/7587/1646402028_img_20220305_000808.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
