3 IHC's, 8 Wheats and a "Smade in China" Ring

Went to a hunted out spot today, but there are a couple of tough to detect spots that I figured might yield some decent finds. My choice was a steep bank. Started with a 1894 Indian. Nice start. Ended with the ring. Junk, but oh well. Pulled 1900 and 1906 Indians also, along with 8 wheats including a '18, '19, '19s. One totally toasted. 68 coins total. Was hoping for a silver dime, but it was a good day anyway, and I only hit about a 3rd of it. Bank has little grass, is trashy as can be and I'm going to have several times over it digging the trash and iffy signals. In many spots the targets were laying right on top the ground including two of the wheats. Erosion doing my job for me. Picked up several pouches worth of trash today.

These last few pics are from a short hunt last week. The peace medallion and chain are not marked but appear silver. The Indian came out of the ground and my first thought was it was awful thin. Had a heck of a time even figuring out what it was when it came out of the ground. Kept looking for a wreath and shield and it was confusing. Got home and cleaned it up and seen that somebody had shaved the back, carved a B and some edge design into it. Pic sucks but maybe you can make it out. DSCF1190.JPG DSCF1191.JPG DSCF1192.JPG

All in all, looks like a good hunt. That ring looks like it's seen better days!

Congrats, that's a big score. That's an awful lot of clad for a "hunted out" park though :P

Yeah, but that was the location. Hit the flat spots and you score a lot less. This bank is steep enough that I was having to watch the dirt clods so they, and potentially my target, didn't end up at the bottom. About took a slide to the bottom a couple of times myself. So, I'm probably not the first to hit this spot, but I may have been more thorough than anyone else took the time too.
