My First Ring!!!!

Hello All,
Today I went to the lake and since we are way behind on our rainfall for the year the water is out farther than normal. I had a big day of detecting planned today. I was gonna get up early and hit the old home site from my last trip and then spend a few hours in a plowed field that was plowed right before hunting season and then end the day by the lake. Well, it was 70 degrees 3 days ago when I planned all this and this morning when I got up it was 33 degrees so I waited around for it to warm up a little(40 was the high) and then headed out about lunch. I decided to go straight to the lake and I'm glad I did because I found my first ring. It's just a little thing and it's silver not gold but it's still my first ring and now that I think about it, it's my first silver find with a detector. :D :D
I know you folks in the north and northwest are probably laughing at me right about now because of my cold day but like I said it was just 70 the other day. I know 40 degrees would be very pleasant weather for you all right now but not for me. I do hope it lets up for you all though.
Anyway, I spent most of my time digging up freakin' pulltabs >:( >:( but I guess that's part of it. I found about 50 cents (all clad I think) which is sitting in a cup of lemon juice at the moment. I'm hoping to go out again tomorrow somewhere.
Sorry for the rambling and happy hunting!

Re: My First Ring!!!!

Hello everyone! Thanks for looking at my stuff. I went out yesterday and found some more stuff and will be posting it in the "What is it" sometime today.


Nahabit, it had CHINA 9?5 on the inside and the design on the outside was eyes and floral designs.

Benc2, I think it showed up between the dime and penny mark if I remember correctly.

Nana40, Not the General Lee. I was at the Big Bull. A friend owns it so I had permission. I thought about the General Lee because there's a lot more partying going on down there during the summer(drunks losing stuff) but I haven't spoke to the owner yet so I thought I'd stick with the Big Bull.

Thanks to all for the comments and I hope everyone is having a great day!

Ed

Re: My First Ring!!!!

yep the first ring is the best, that second pic looks all to familiar to me. Just take a good look at your ring again and it makes all those pull tabs you dug worth it.

Re: My First Ring!!!!

Nice ring Ed! They are always a surprise when they pop up! I finished the year with 70 rings...only 5 were gold & 1 silver...the rest were junque. Be glad your ground isn't covered with all the white stuff that we get up north this time of year...I'd take 40 degrees any day without the snow. Keep digging; I wish you the best of luck this winter...us Yankees will just have to sit by and live through you warm weather folks so be sure to post everything.

I never got around to posting my newer finds. I've been doing last minute Christmas stuff but I'm gonna get to it soon.
Thanks again for looking at my finds.
