It is so fun to go detecting . My hunting buddy Ryan and I hunted a old school that he picked out for this mornings hunt . I'm sure glad we went !! Ryan found a beautiful 14k gold wedding band and I found a few things myself . My first good finds were all in a 20 by 20 foot area . I found two Wheats first , 1946S & 1956D . Next is two silver dimes in the same hole , 1945D Merc & 1947 Rosie . The very next target was at 5-6 inches and was jumping from +65 to +72 . When I found the coin I could not believe it , my first 1800's coin in nearly 2 two years ! 1898 Indian Head penny ! I thought the day was already great and then about a half hour later I get a +72 at 2 inches . I pull back the dirt and I see GOLD :headbang:!! It turns out to be a 5 GRAM Credit Suisse bar . It's been hit by the mower , but I'll take it !
After all the soccer games started we moved to a small area in the field and the 3rd target is a small .925 ring ! #26 for the year . Then one more Wheat cent , 1941 . Last I got a small junk ring #27. Total clad for 3 hours is $17.61 . We are going back tomorrow .

A soccer field some kind probably snatched it from his dads desk and took it for show and tell and lost it out there, awesome finds it will be hard topping that one.

I agree and Lovin it. Been kinda skunked since I got my minelab (sure its location and not user :tongue3: ) and was hoping this weekend there'd be lots of great finds here to keep my hopes up.

Great find

Nice finds...I've seen those gold bars before but I have never found one.

I think Cru was quoting in pounds or euros with would both be around 150 (142 or 165).
