So the day before Turkey day I went to a little old park and hunted. Found the 2 walkers and 2 mercs. Bunch of wheats. Thread here
http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/t...ilver-double-little-silver-barrel-wheats.html

Well today I WENT BACK and had another good quick hunt. First good find was a WW2 Silver Aviation Ring with gold Prop and wings. Extremely worn and missing a chunk of the silver. Bummer it is broken but still a cool find. It rung up a solid 11-46 one direction and disappeared the other direction. I contemplated moving on but it was so solid the one direction. Dug it and super happy I did!! It was about 5 inches down. For me this was a awesome Find. I love history, Found the ring online and it is from ww2, The pic on the bottom is what it should look like..



Then a little while later I got a Nice clean 12-44 Dug this nice little merc at about 6 inches





Ended up getting another merc and a few wheat pennies. One of the wheat pennies was a faint high tone. But it was solid sound though all the way around. Dug the plug and at a measured 9" I pulled out a 1920 s Wheat!! This is why I love the CTX so much. I know others can do it but it seems like it is so easy with the CTX

Congrats on the great digs. I believe that is a vintage WWII sterling silver Air Force Pilot Ring.
