Hey folks!

Finally got a chance to get out this afternoon with the Safari for just a little less than an hour.

I found a really small newer park surrounded by a wooded section consisting of small but old oak trees near a creek, around which I chose to detect and not the park area. After finding a clad nickel and plain penny I ventured another twenty yards when I got a signal that showed a +35 value on my screen. I figured it was just another memorial but what the heck, ya never know, right?

Sure enough, I pulled up this antique silver ring from four inches. And the red stone may actually be a real ruby or garnet. I'll have to take it to the jewelers to find out for sure.

HH,

Ray
