Targets everywhere

[mumszie]

I went to a new place this morning and as soon as I got in the water I started finding targets. Lots of coins today as least by my standards. LOL I ended up with $3.86 in coins including another dollar coin.

I got a lot of junk targets today too including lots of nails, a large sinker and even a piece of chain (not a necklace chain). In fact one of the junk items turned out to be a knife. I didn't realize it until I got home and started going through the stuff. It is very encrusted and I think one of the blades is broken but I am not going to clean it up any more than I have already.

Here are a few shots of the knife.

Looking at the blades

I also found a bangle bracelet and was hoping it was silver but no such luck. It's junk but pretty.

I found a cheap charm too.

But best of all.... I found a ring. No.... not gold but it's silver. I still can't get them to shine like Lorraine does but it still turned out pretty good. I like it.

I really enjoyed my morning today. It wasn't that I found expensive stuff but that I was actually hitting targets with almost every step. I loved it and I'm going back! I hope your day was a good or better.

Nice ring. Looks like the new spot has lots of potential.

Nice hunting Mumszie!



To really bring out the shine in silver (and some other metals) try MAAS metal polish.

I've been out almost every day but I figured you gng's were getting tired of all my "nothing today" posts. Everyone likes to see the good stuff and not the junk I find. I found another ring yesterday but it was just a little rusted toe ring. And I found a pocketful of bullet casings yesterday but NO bb's. LOL

That silver ring looks like it might be a "spinner ring" the middle section spins freely unless it gets clogged by sand....check it out....and by the way...No BB's !!

Nice silver ring Mumszie! Get a can of "Never Dull" at your local hardware store and that will make your ring shine like new. Either that or a Cape Cod polishing cloth.

No dang it! I still don't belong to the "spinner" club. It doesn't spin. **sigh**

Nice silver, I like it !!!

Nice ring! Could that be a Barlow knife?

I don't have a clue. I don't plan on trying to clean it any better. Not quite sure how I'd go about it anyway.

WOw Mumszie looks like that new spot may be a good one , your on the way to finding the good stuff ( the ring ) from clearing out all the junk . I'd say good hunt an a good new spot .

Mumzie,

I always look forward to and enjoy reading your latest.

Your enthusiasm and excitement is a credit to you.

Keep it up girl.

Lou.

Good hunting.......

 

[gold-digger]

Hey Mumszie... I use Tarn-x. I usually just pour enough to cover the ring, let it soak for a few minutes and then brush with an old toothbrush. Then you can take a silver polish and polish up to shine.

Always check your coins, some times its easy to miss those black ''silver pre1964 coins''.

Ooo!

Congratulations.

I haven't found a single ring all year. I think they hate me, purposefully moving through the dirt to avoid my coil.
