Key Cache!!

[eathabs]

I got permission to detect a neighbor's property this summer. It has a nice hill that all the local kids, my wife and I included, use for sledding. I figured some coins and zipper pulls would be found but never in my wildest imagination could I possibly conceive of finding my very first cache!!! After searching the area where the kids would roll off their sleds and finding only a junk ring I decided to go to the bottom of the hill. Just a few minutes of sweeping over the leaf litter my machine screamed at me to dig a dollar signal. As I swept away the decaying leaves, I found, without even having to dig, my first cache!! What a beauty. A rusted ring of uncut car keys. Oh well, a cache is a cache and I'll leave it at that.

The ring on the left is from the sledding hill, the other two are just junk finds as well.

Very nice key cache man! I love finding keys. Your find is quite unique. Were they buried in a jar or something?

Nope, just laying there under some leaf litter. My guess is that they were some kids treasure ring. When I started taking them off of the ring it fell apart.

Don't be so fast to call that one ring on the lower right junk just yet. It could be silver. When silver gets hot from the ground heating up it will make the surface turn black just like that one. Look at it real close for a hallmark. A fake silver ring will pit and start to corrode. Or you can do a scratch test on the inside. Sterling silver will gougeeasily and deeply because it is soft. The fresh metal will be a gleaming bright silver color.

A "no dig" cache....That's a good thing.
