After spending months hunting a major road rip-up out here in Denver, it was finally completed, much to our great dismay.
We had all dug some great coins, as well as some real nice tokens. Scrambling around seeking new sites, we stumbled on a couple overlooked areas that seemed promising. Close to the original downtown street tear-up, was a several new projects, and we decided to check them out. A fairly large area had been torn up, and evidence of very old activity was showing up.

These are all from one month of hunting. A total of 16 different varieties of coins were dug, not counting anything new. ( Clad coinage, Zincs, etc.)
Dug my first 3-Cent, non-silver, a 1866. Of course the only coin I scratched was a very worn 1895-S Morgan, with only 400,000 minted.
Not shown are all the various relics, as well as a couple of silver rings, I'll post them later. Way too tired right now.

The rings were all dug in one small location, which was close to the original play area.

Plan to get the gold rings checked out, but the diamonds seem real, they really sparkle, and hopefully the rubies we'll be as well.

Enjoy.

Very nice saves! What sort of soil were these in? All of the coinage appears to be abnormally pitted..........maybe something acidic from the paving?

Thank, all.
There may have been some sort of fire, some areas have definite burn patterns.
Or like you said, something corrosive in the pavement material.
Cleaned up the four largest coins, the SLQ has to be a 1923, based on the placement of the only visible number.

Hey, Carl. That diamond ring cleaned up nice! I see you got a morgan and didn't tell anyone..or at least not me!
I have been lurking here for years and finally signed up. Will be showing off some of my finds in the future.
See you out in the field again, I'm sure.
