My wife's employee's Grandmother who is 93 years old and still owns the house and the land that she was raised on. This is in a very small town way in the backwoods of the backwoods. It's about an hour away from my house and I knew it was gonna rain today so I'll hurry up and drove over there and I got about 2 hours in. Masota may also loans big field behind the house and she said I could keep whatever I find as long as I bring her a bunch of Baby Ruth's and that's what I did. She was the true treasure of the day and she still had all her wits about her amazing. I got my first Eisenhower dollar, a buckle not sure how old, 2 wheat pennies one being a 1914, a Sweet Orr button (Vintage item from the 1910s) and a big ol sweet silver 925 butterfly ring. With no exaggeration I had a awful choppy high signals which sounded just like a bunch of old rusty bottle caps and decided to dig it any and because I must like self torture. I pulled out rusty nail after rusty nail and the pin pointer kept going off. After the 4th nail down I saw that ring YES!!! And then they had 2 more nails after that. I'm glad I kept checking that hole. Just doing a small section of the front yard is what I did because the backyard and all of the big trees have so much over brush I can't even get close, I'm gonna have to figure something out. And I guess I'll be living in that field for quite a while. No matter what I'm truly blessed. IMG_0141.JPG IMG_0146.JPG IMG_0147.JPG IMG_0149.JPG IMG_0151.JPG

Here's the field in the back of the house

That silver ring is too cool! I found an Eisenhower on a soccer field and it just about blew my ears off. Lol. I guess it was used for the coin toss. Looks like you got a great place there. Good luck!

The butterfly ring is a beauty for sure!

Good luck with the rest of that field, it looks to have some serious potential.

Congrats on great finds!!! I loved it when you said that the lady was the "real treasure". Yes I would definitely keep living in that field! Just keep the Baby Ruths coming.
