I can hardly call myself a detectorist this year....Ima blame it on rain and work[emoji6].. got out twice a few months ago, to cure the itch from winter. Both times Were to fields, I already hit pretty hard. But I always think there's some gold left. Anyhow struck out both times, and havnt been out since. Two short before night hunts in a row I hit something to talk about at least hah. Last night the nice barber and such. Tonight I hit this ugly but Chunky silver piece. Not bad I'll take it. I can't really make out what the marking says. I thought the color looked off and might be fake but it tested good. Enough talking here's the pics ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1436155331.411249.jpg ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1436155349.494545.jpg ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1436155364.512061.jpg ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1436155381.295717.jpg

Kinda looks like A.T MEXICO 325 whatever that means. I like it anyway. I'm embarrassed to admit I ain't found 1 darn ring in a year of digging! Maybe it's older than it looks. Nice find.

Bcutting Plugs, that's a hefty ring. I'd like to know what it weighs. Nice find. Hot diggity, if you live anywhere near the coast or some form of a beach or wading area, check the sands there...as people lose rings readily(wet hands). Old swimming holes too. Also, I have had decent luck finding rings around park benches. School grounds and tot lots canbe good places sometimes. Give it a try. They can be anywhere, but try places like that.

Could it be 925?

I did a Google image search on Mexican silver rings & yeah a lot of them were 925. No clue what that means either. Thanks Jarl & I'm sure your right. I could search a few beaches, but I'm only focusing on fur trade era or older right now. It's gotta happen though.

Seems like you are losing the itch. I prescribe that you go find a new spot. Pulling 1 or 2 keepers per hunt feeds the fire. Congrats on pulling that fatty. :occasion14:

Those are nice finds. But, with that said, if the only time we have "something worth talking about" is ONLY if it has age or intrinsic value, then, we need to reevaluate what we're doing out there. If, in fact, one is out doing this as a job. Then, yeah, nothing but valuables is of interest.

As for me, I quite enjoy sharing how a hunt has gone. "Good" or "bad". Makes me a bit boring, I know. Still, I feel lots of people enjoy reading the stories here.

Don't just report when you find something worth it. Let the people here decide what was worth looking at. Share a bit more often, you'll like it. :)

Nice chunk!

Thanks for the tips.. Not to close to the ocean but I like to search sports complex fields.. That's where I find most of my rings.. I have found a decent amount . Not like some of the t-neters but I have a decent collection .. 11.7 grams

It's 925 but can't make out what the words say it looks like at Mexico but when I type it in I can't find anything on it

1) That is one ugly ring

2) That ring is silver and I'm in looooooooooooove

3) If that much silver doesn't get your blood pumping and feed your fire, I don't know what will

I do hope you find it. Change up your spots? Set goals for what you are looking for? Hopefully you get the itch back. That is a great ring! Congrats!
