Last week I went back to Maggie Mae's place. Spent around four hours there trying to find a silver ring for the owner. It was an old coin ring and he said he had lost it 30+ years ago while shooting basketball. The 'court' was/is dirt. I stayed within an area that I thought it could be and then some, but no ring. :-\ That place was LOADED with iron. I dug everything with a positive tone and ended up with pockets full of NON keepers. :-X :D

The only keeper that hunt, other than change, was a 1 Franc from 1939.

Next hunt was at an old homeplace that had the sweetest owner. He was a lot of fun to meet. Ninety-three years young and loves to fish like nobodies business! Tells a good story too! :thumbsup:

Spent around four hours there as well. The old home was shoved down and a trailer put in its place. The dirt was shoved around and mixed in with a hefty layer of trash. Massey Ferguson fob celebrating its 125th anniversary, a broken marble, cow tag and what looks like a gun flint is all I kept from there. I found the flint piece in the little garden he had plowed off to the side. I'm hoping someone will chime in on this one and verify. :)

Then today, I went to check out a spot that we couldn't get to till now. No keepers to speak of from there except a partial arrowhead from one of the holes I dug. I sure wish he'd plow that pasture. :P :D
