Now, these finds are yesterday and Sunday. I went to the beach and got the 14k gold wedding ring and the 14k gold and I think emerald with diamond ladies' ring along with over $9 clad in a LONG hunt. Place had a lot of people and they like to leave stuff on the beach. Also got a cute little stainless steel cross, about to wash into the ocean, and a plated gold ring with "2017" on it, plus a couple toys.

The SURPRISE was that I wasn't quite exhausted enough when I came home, so took the machine for a swing on the lawn. Found a clad dime, a zincoln and some trash and got a "96" on the Deus, and a shallow tone at that. So huh? Down less than 2" was this sterling silver hallmarked ring with a moonstone set in it. The company that made it existed almost a century. It has the earlier "sterling" hallmark and dates from the 1920's to 1950's, it's really hard to pin down the year. Manufacturer is Budlong, Docherty, & Armstrong Jewelry Company in Providence, Rhode Island.

I've lived here 40 years, and this was a surprise. IMG_1166.JPG IMG_1169.JPG

It was fun. I've done more detecting this summer than any other summer. Mainly at the beach, but my lawn is almost safe, except for the raccoons, snakes, bobcat, mountain lion and my three terrible attack chickens.
