I called another RE agent about a house just 2 doors down from where I found 2 silver dimes last week..my first find was a wheat penny, then fter only 20 minutes I got a signal that read 50 cents..it turned out to be a big fat 925 silver ring..about 5 minutes later I dug up my first Buffalo nickel, I can't read the date, but it is what it is! I was ECSTATIC!

I also found 2 toy cars, one is a 1950's Tootsie Toy jeep.

I ended up with 9 wheats, 1939-P, 1944-P, 1945-P, 3 1951-D's, 1953-D, 1956-P and 1957-D.

I got too tired to continue so I decided to quit and come back later..I also started talking an older gent next door and he told me I could check his front yard..I didn't even have to ask!

Hey Nat,yes I have seen several rings where the center part spins.A good friend of mines wedding band does that.He doesnt even notice that he constantly spins it with his thumb while he`s sitting there.Very addictive :D
Go for the gold :o
