Hey everyone,

Hope you're all doing great!

I'm getting married Saturday so I got my last hunt in as a single person tonight. There's a chance I do some beach detecting in Hawaii on the honeymoon but I'm not planning on too much.

Got out to a handful of different sites tonight. Landed some exciting finds as you can see below. It was nice to get out but I'll be glad when September rolls around and we get some rain. The grass is just too dry around here.

I pulled my nicest buff in a long time. Had to deal with two older women scolding me for detecting on public property tonight. They were both so heated, they started to get mad at each other about who got to tell me off first. That was a first. Yikes. I politely told them I was on public property and would be wrapping up in 10 minutes. Can't be chased off by every crazy with an opinion.

Anyways, here are the photos:

The tally:
-1 Rosie (1948-S)
-1 Sterling Ring (very interesting mark, never seen it look like that before)
-1 Buff (1918-D)
-10 Wheats
-1 Navy button

Thanks for looking and I hope you all get a lot of stuff in the second half of August!
-W

Good show Washingtonian. Good luck on your pending nuptials.

I bet Junior hopes that wedding ring will slow you down, so he can catch up.

Best to you and the future Mrs. W.

You might get the chance to detect a little after the reception. "Jewelry" for sure will be everywhere. Hey, have a limbo contest. That'll do the job.:laughing7:
Good luck in your next life.:icon_thumright:

Congrats on getting married. I wish the best for the both of you! Nice score on the old Buffalo, Rosie, and Wheats. You've got a Sterling ring and a Naval button. It's all GOOD!

Congrats on some nice finds and another silver dime. Tip on continuing to detect on your honeymoon in Hawaii... Hit the beach super early, 5 am, finish by 7:30, arrange for breakfast (her favorite stuff) and bring her breakfast in bed each morning. Maybe a nice arrangement of your gold and silver finds for her next to the freshly squeezed OJ. She will appreciate you thinking of her FIRST, and still get your detecting fix in. Congrats!

Washington, congratulations on your wedding. Secondly those are some real nice finds. Enjoy life with your new parter. Maybe the two of you can detect together now. Twice as many finds.

Congrats on the finds! Oh, and the marriage too!:laughing7: We'll expect to see a Mrs.Washingtonian making some post soon! :icon_thumleft: Nice find on that Buffalo. Not a real common date/mint mark. Check for the 8 over 7 that year. You might have hit the jackpot!
