- Metal Detecting
I've been tied up with work and chores lately. Wanted to go metal detect today but had things to do. Finished my to do list and still had about 2 hours of daylight left. I decided to hit an area of our yard that I haven't hunted before. I decided to grid it. I dug quite a bit of junk and decided that the row I was on would be my last once I made it back swinging to the 4 wheeler. Literally the last swing I made 3 feet from my 4 wheeler, I got a strong 69-70 signal about 8 inches deep. I figured it was probably more junk but dug it anyway because the signal was so clear. I dug and about 6 inches my pinpointer was right on top of it. I made a final scoop and saw the top of a coin staring at me. I was stoked as soon as I picked it up I just knew it was not an ordinary nickel. I raced to get KYWONDER to come look at it. He told me it was a War Nickel It's my first1943 S war nickel and my first silver coin! Well, the most silver I have found to date! To sweeten the deal, yesterday I went out to our old homestead site and literally found a ring just under the dirt. I didn't have my metal detector with me, just a surface find. The ring looked like a slight circle in the dirt. I thought it was some kind of washer and I reached down for it and saw it was a ring. It is gold inside. It's corroded on the outside but inside the ring it says 14k. Guess maybe it was plated? Anyway, it was nice to have some decent finds and something besides pennies! Thanks for looking and HH!
