Ok everyone, this was probably the best and most insane hunt I have ever done! I really can't give out too much info, but we did our research and found an excellent spot. My friend and I start searching, right off the bat I score an 1838 copper. We continue and I get an 1807 half cent. My friend calls me over a little later and he scores a classic head half cent. Just and I am leaving he get another signal a few feet away and bam, a 1775 1 real with a hole! By now I am a little jealous that he found the silver, but we knew this site would have more... We both spot a hill and start to walk up. He get another copper and a few feet away I get another signal, a 1789 1 real! I was very happy now. Not long after that and close by I got an 1822 large cent. Anyways, we keep putzing around. Very few buttons, 3 in total, a cloak clasp chain I found also. My friend calls me over, yet another silver coin! This time a half of a 1 real which looked like it was in a fire of some sort. Back we go searching when I hear him call out..... Silver! I walk back and there in the hole he quickly he reveals a large silver disk. We don't know what it is at this point. I get the water ready and reach in and grab it without looking. Then, I pulled the coin out and put water over it. We couldn't believe it, an 1818 capped bust quarter in just amazing condition. By now I was getting spoiled, a 1 real was great, but I wanted some american silver or something really really good too! We decided to go slow back over the spots. I got a signal beneath a giant root of a tree and started digging. I let my friend scan the hole and he helped also. As we were digging, I said maybe it could be a gold coin or gold ring! Sure enough, when we got to the target, to my amazement it was a gold ring! I couldn't believe it. most likely the ring was from the early 1800s. It had been resized was beautifully etched. One thing I forgot to mention the gold ring was the second ring I found that day. Earlier I found a small copper ring with a flower design. We are both still in shock by what we found today. Research is key!
Happy hunting to all!

Those folks must have had some money considering all the coins, especially silver, and the gold.
