I was lucky enough to get out yesterday with Watercolor and the rest of the guys. I managed to grab a '46 Rosie. That was a fun hunt with a lot of good hunters out there! ;D It's way more fun to hunt with a group of friends! :wink:

Then this afternoon, I got out to an old park for a bit after getting skunked in the morning at a 50 year old house slated for demo. (Gotta find a silver Washington quarter this year... :icon_scratch: )

After 15 minutes and some clad & a 57 wheatie, I popped open a plug and there was a sterling ring. ;D

I found a bit more clad, and then 5 feet from the first ring, I popped a plug and there was a .3 oz honking sterling ring. ;D

A few feet away I found yet another ring. It's a junk metal ring. Oh well - let's not get greedy! ;D

I had to leave the park to pick Mrs. Kimsdad up at her friend's house. Naturally, the detector came back out for a bit. I got a strong signal in the back of her property and brought up what looks like plates and a cup from an old kiddie play set. They were pretty deep.

So the the day's finds include $3.34 in clad & two sterling rings. No silver George - but I'm going to hit that park again. :wink: Thanks for checking out my finds!

Thanks, Nat! You want it? It's yours! Kinda small though - It fit on Mrs. Kimsdad little finger. Maybe for Mrs. Nat?
