Found a silver ant nest!

[Paul4x4]

These finds are from Friday, when we hit a couple lake beaches with my friend for about two hours.

It was cold again. Every night seem to be a frost night these days, but have to hunt as much as possible before it's impossible! Couldn't get any digging pictures because my phone's battery decided to die on me

First beach gave us nothing worth mentioning, but when hit the second one, my buddy found almost instantly a nice silver ring just laying in the grass, so it was a recent loss. After that I got a somewhat crappy reading on the E-Trac, and almost walked over it, but it turned out to be my first silver ring for the night. I filled the hole, and my buddy yelled at me that he found a gold chain. I walked there to see it, but it turned out to be just some junk. But the next hole produced him a very worn "support war invalids" silver ring from 1944!

I started to work on the same small grass area, and soon I pulled a ring with ant's nesting in it! Ant's seem to be rich these days, with rooms made of silver! LOL Sadly, I had to stole their fortune!

Swinging my way back to the car, I pulled out the last ring, which turned out to be my second Peace ring for the season!

Only €4.50 ($6.63) this time.

It was an underground nest, so how I could have known?

That ring with the leaves on it is very nice! Are you finding these rings in the water, or up in the grass near water's edge?

Nice finds! I also did a drained lake hunt Saturday, about 11 Euros, 12 Deutsch Marks in coins, 3 silver rings and a long 925 silver necklace that weighs 28 grams. HH, Mike

I could say all my finds come from the grass areas.

Thanks!

I'm using a USB microscope on the ring markings. It's a very useful tool!

Bought it from Deal Extreme. Here's the link: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.26764
