2nd silver ring and she is a beauty! I did the happy dance + I'm a happy camper!

Hey guys! Well today I got out again! It was really foggy this morning, but I drove all the way to Seattle to meet up with Dennis (Minelab Dealer) at his house and then go for a day of detecting. We headed to a park in the heart of Seattle where tons of people hang out. Well to say the least I was very excited about it! :) I put in the modes that Dennis had given me before and I then turned my sensitivity to 7 and my recovery mode at FAST.

My first target was a quarter; I thought that was cool. I then got a Dime; Oh cool. Third target was a penny; the fourth target, I was really amazed at what came out of the ground. I saw a ring in my hands. It looked very beautiful. I brushed off the dirt on the inside because the rest of the outside looked like silver. As I saw the markings .925 I yelled, "SILVER!" to Dennis. He was very surprised also! Since we were only aloud to hunt no more then 4 inches deep; I was amazed that I had gotten SILVER for the day.

The rest of the hour all I got were a bunch of quarters and dimes. Around the beginning of the 2nd hour I pulled out an elongated penny! :) It was another surprise to add to my total of coins. It got really tiring after that digging all the pennies. I was about ready to quit by 2 and a half hours but I never gave up. I would have only spent that much time hunting because I had already gotten my silver for the day. But I went on and found a Spanish copy coin (It was a fake of course)! It was from Florida and we both looked at it and were surprised that it ended up in Seattle. A tourist must have dropped it when visiting Seattle from Florida.

When it got to 2:50pm It had almost been three hours. My hands and legs were tired from all of the digging. All in all I had a wonderful day and got my second silver ring! :)

Here are the pictures:

Total clad was: $6.20

I hit two milestones today yet again with my SE! I got my 2nd silver ring and got $6.20 in change! Finally setting the bar over $5! :)

He was very surprised also! Since we were only aloud to hunt no more then 4 inches deep;

Where did that rule come from, DF? :icon_scratch: :icon_scratch: Is there a ranger that carries a ruler with him at the park, and measures each hole you make? ;D ;D ;D

I wouldn't be anywhere near that park if I couldn't dig deeper than 4". :'(

I'm glad you found a ton of clad and a very nice silver ring.

Congrats,

Very nice ring, congrats!

No deeper than 4" , that sounds kinda dumb, once you cut a plug, or start digging in the dirt, why should it matter how deep you go?

Good luck,
HH.

DF, looks like your getting the detector down now. Great finds on the silver and clad. Too bad about the fake coin, oh well at least you had a great time and learned something from the dealer.

Keep up the great detecting.
