I got up early Saturday morning, and set off on a grand adventure with TNetters: Smittyman, Todd Lipe & Kurtstuben. We went for a scenic full day tour of SC. A good time was had by all, even though the finds were meager. I managed to find the following:

- (9) Wheaties. I used my favorite Deus program: "Wheatie1".
- Token, No Cash Value on reverse.
- '45 Mercury dime.
- Broken watch part.
- Smallest organ reed I ever found.
- Broken umbrella part... maybe?
- Crush rings for sparkplugs, these sound so good!

On Sunday morning I slipped out alone for a couple of hours around town. Here is what I got:

- (4) Wheaties.
- Marble, motor oil color w/ light blue flecks.
- Great Seal button.
- Piece of a bracelet (Doubt it is silver).
- Copper flower, plated a long time ago.
- Army Coast Defense pin. WW2 vintage. (Thanks for the ID Scrappy)
- Sterling ring with heart shaped "ruby". As soon as I saw it, I knew it was old and silver, you can see how tarnished it looked.

Thanks for looking and best of luck on your hunts!

You're still killin' it I see.

I love that ring. If that's an actual ruby that would be fantastic.

Very cool finds Tom, good job. Is that by any chance a "kiddiegem" ring?
