Default Struck Gold with the Ace 250

I was doing a little hunting at a local park. It was really trashy but managed
to get a quarter then a penny. Stopped to light a smoke and noticed the people up a the pavilion were going to their cars, So I decided to head that way and while not even swinging the coil, took a step and heard a nickel signal. I figured it was a tab but thought "what the heck" I could use an extra nickel. Cut a flap and nothing in the dirt..scanned the flap from the bottom and still nothing. Turned the flap over and scanned it again. Bingo! there was my signal again. Started to scrape the little bit of dirt from the roots and out popped the bottom of the ring. Pulled it out and couldn't believe my eyes...7 beautiful cut Rubies set in 14k-Almost walked away from it.
