First post! Todays finds. Update on Ring!

[Jerry1NJ]

Well heres my first post. Last week I was detecting at the park and some old lady approached me and asked me if I found any good things. I just found some clad coins and some pull tabs. She said that she lives in an old house that was once a farm in the early 20th century. She told me she found a morgan dollar in her yard about 10 years ago. She seemed pretty nice so I asked her if I can come over to detect. She said ok. So I went there today and she told me that a trolley stop was also there in the 1900s. I was there for around three hours today and I found 3 lincoln pennies, a virgin mary pin, silver ring, spoon, two bronze handles(for a small furniture piece) , a coin or button with sailboats on it(I need help to ID it) and a coin from the Konungur Islands from 1942. I have no idea how that got there in NJ! Also a lot of scrap and a early 50s NJ license plate. I'm going back there maybe tomorrow and check out the yard some more and the trolley stop area. After cleaning of the ring better, I found its a Taxco Mexican ring from the 1920s. It looks like there were mother of pearl bands inlaid into the ring. I tried to identify the hallmark, but I couldnt find it. First official silver ring!

Pat, she told me that she found the Morgan at the surface. It was sticking out of the ground. She showed it to me today. I found the yard was really trashy, lots of scrap and junk on one side. The area was the dump. The owner probably buried his garbage. I found all the relics and coins on the opposite side near the trolley station.

Jerry, well done on a good days hunt! It sounds like your on a good site so take your time and listen for the not so obvious signals. Those will be the deep oldies! Take your time to hunt and also be careful with the yard itself. Keep us informed, we will be waiting on the big find!
