Jeff and I decided to drive a bit to Yellow Springs and hit a tot lot by a grade school. We did ok in clad but I decided to hunt the big field next to the school by the old ball diamond.
I got a pocket spill of 3 quarters and a dime. And since Jeff told me his last ring showed as a penny +77 VDI, I started looking for them. On my M6 a +77 is a penny/dime. I dug several more pennies and dimes then found a 1957D wheatie laying on top of the ground by some swings. I never find wheaties but Jeff says all his are on top. So I guess this should have been Jeff's.
First Ring:
Then on the way from the big field I got another +77 hit and dug down three inches. I could see silver immediately. I was sure it was going to be a "real dime." Better yet, it showed up as a nice ladies silver ring with a pale green/yellow stone. It says .925 inside. I hollered at Jeff then I touched my right hand to my right shoulder to let Jeff know I had found a ring. He was well...thrilled! Yeah right.
Next Ring:
We hunted a while more then headed back to the car. It was a beautiful day and while jeff was digging his last hit I decided to try the area betweent the sidewalk and curb. I had always heard this area produced coins. At about 20' in front of my van I got a quarter hit, +85 VDI at 2 inches. What a surprise when I turned over the soil near the road--another ring. A big silver mans ring that just fits my little finger. It is a good 1" wide and 1/2" thick. It says TJ Mex .925 inside.
I called to Jeff and before I could touch my shoulder with my hand he shot me a look of well...ill will is the best way to describe it. [Smiling]
Not skunked by Jeff today. And Tweeter, better catch up...if you can! Heheheh
