Alrighty, I know my posts are low and Ive been a member for over a year. I figure its about time to start posting regularly. With that out of the way, time for the good stuff. I was digging every pull tab today, like I usually do, and I got 2 surprise's from it. In the first pick, the corner with the silver dime and pull tab, I dug the tab, rechecked the hole, and about 3 inches deeper was my second silver dime of the day. The second surprise came in the form of a class ring! 10K with initials and the date 1938 on there twice! I checked online and that school, that was on the ring, was built in 1909. (I found the ring in a different town) Also "Peacock" is stamped in there. The stone is missing but I did take a bunch of dirt from the hole and the plug and I will see if I can find it. I dug the war nickel first, the 1959 dime second, the 64d third and the ring last. The other war nickel, 1942 20 centavos, silver ring, and the 1930 badge were from my last hunt. I figured I would sneak them in.
First today's trash and others.

Ring closeup, the 1938 dates are on the sides. One date is almost worn off, I needed my eye loupe to see it.
Last hunt, but still good, hunt. My first war nickel, and the stone that was in the ring, someone said is Quartz.
I forgot to mention that my buddy Bacon, that I hunt with, took a video of me digging the ring out. But its embarrassing since I was yelling like a school girl, so i wont post it.
Update: I called the school's district office today and went through the automated system 4 times and no one answered. I also called one of the schools and no one answered. I know the kids have today off over there (I work for a neighboring towns school district, but I don't get any days off like the kids or teachers do) so I can try again tomorrow. If anyone knows a better way I should be doing this, please let me know. Thanks!
