Hello!

I took a drive up north today with Richard & Ron. It rained all day, but we still detected for several hours!

Ron let me use his Minelab Explorer SE & ETrac ~ I sure like both those detectors! I especially like the tone ID, but I need to start digging those low tones ~ I didn't dig any nickels all day! Here's what I dug:

1917 Merc dime
1939-S Merc dime
7 wheats ~ 1916 to 1955
Silver ring with black Onyx
11 Clad quarters
16 Clad dimes
110 Memorial cents

With the camera on my cell phone I took pic's of both the dimes while they were still in the dirt just as I dug them.

These dimes are my silver coin finds #32 & #33 for the year.

I assume this silver ring is kind of old ~ I dug it pretty deep! The jeweler's mark is a "U" with an arrow through it ~ anyone know who's jeweler's mark this is?

Thanks for looking!
Neil

Those two machines are silver magnets, Neil. I'm sure you were excited to get to swing them.

Awesome silver ring. I really like it, and I agree, it looks old!!

Congrats,
