Been a bit busy as of late. Getting all ready to move to Washington state from Idaho. Will be nice to get some new hunting areas and may even get into some beach hunting, which is nice cuz the wife already ok'd getting an Excal -- Been sneaking off a couple times a week over lunch to get a few digs in. About an hour is all I can stand in 100 degree weather.

Anyhow w/out boring you any further here are my finds:

Wheats:
1944S x 2
1951S
1930S
1957D
1958D
1942D
1953p
1913D
1944

Indian
1907

Mercs
1919P
1924S

The ring looks to a silver plated metal -- 99.99% sure the stone is glass :) probably the oldest ring I have found to date

Thanks for looken!

Nice finds Gabbit! Washington state? You dont want to go there, I hear its completely hunted out! No silver, no rings, no clad. I hope you give up all your secret spots to Angelo before you leave.................the Gem State misses you already! :'(

C'mon AP, I left a *few* things up there. ;) :D

Great finds, Gabbit, I can't wait to see what you can find in the Seattle area. I'll tell you where to go on Vashon Island if you want.

Oh, I am drooling over that IH. It looks very, very nice. ;D ;D Merc are fine but usually those look decent even here in ohio. But IH's ...well let's just say they don't look too pretty here. :P :D

Good luck in your move.

Nice finds Gabbit.

Your soil is kind to the indians.

The ring looks old. Probably from the 30's or 40's.

One thing about moving Gabbit is you get to throw away all those items that have not been used in so many years that have been just sitting there in storage! Congrats of the nice finds and good luck in your new adventures!

Any tips are welcome and appreciated -- :) you must have left a coin or two up there for me -- If you ever make it up north we will have to go hunting

Kinda tough to date but I would say the same thing too -- have seen some styles like that from the 50's but I would say a bit old -- just another ring in my treasure box now :)
