Hi:hello:

Been viewing some great finds here ..congrats to all on the terrific detecting.

Haven't been lucky in the "gold" department lately, but did manage to snag some silver today and a few days ago,

Had started baking chocolate cookies this morning, , but decided to take a break late morning at low tide ( was not a difficult decision :laughing7:)

Hunted thick muddy flats, and all items were deep ....approximately 8"...lots of digging to get to the targets.....I'm using a smaller diameter scoop these days, so it takes longer to recover the goodies.

Here's some pics of my finds.

Both rings had to have been dormant for many years by the looks of them...probably from 1943 like the war nickel.

One of the rings had a thick rock-like black appendage that had to be broken off.

Will be out there tomorrow to keep searching for those treasures.:headbang:

Thanks for looking

Lorraine
