OK, since everyone is showing off there mercs and such I wanted to post these. I have hunted from Japan to Kosovo and I have to admit, I love finding hammered silver but I really do miss the states.
I was stationed in Hawaii, I got the new XLT spectrum in 91. Went out to a little kiddy park and found a 66 gold class ring in 5 minutes. I was hooked for life after that. I mostly hunted the bases in Hawaii, Hickam, Pearl Harbor and Fort Shafter, Wheeler. Most of these places were used well before 1930, Hickam goes back to the 1800's. I used old 1907 Ariel's to find the spots no one knew about. And as you can see it paid.
I must of found 40 rings there. Seemed every other house on base had one. Alot of people asked if I could find rings they lost and I have found everyone of them for free.
I never did the beaches.... It was a waist of time for me since they were covered by about 100 retires that had nothing to do all week long but hit the beachs. Most were good guys but at Hanama Bay I met a complete as@. Some lady lost here ring. She knew it was in a 12ft square area. I was there with my brother, had a look around and sure enough I saw a old guy metal detecting. I went over told him I was into detecting and that this lady lost her ring. Asked if he could find it for her, probably would of taken 5 minutes. You would never guess what he says... Ya for $50 bucks. I could not believe it. I told him thanks but no thanks. Told my brother to guard the spot, went home and got the XLT, came back and there I got it. Here you go, no problems. I was proud of myself. My brother said as soon as I left to get my detector, the guy came over and tried to find it. My brother said if you get it are you going to give it back, he said finders keepers.... Right in front of the people... Moron. My bro made sure he did not detect there till I got back, hehe.
Anyway these are from about 1.5 years detecting in Hawaii, except for a few I found at a California Treasure Hunt.
SKi..
