My oldest colonial silver yet & a diamond ring.
I have been working holes in the water and have been doing very well. There is so much junk that I turned my detector off and set it aside. I have been pulling the big rocks out and fanning the smaller stones and silt out of the way. The heavy stuff stays on the bottom. I grab a handfull and search that way. I found my oldest silver yet and a diamond ring. There is one diamond missing on the one side. The other finds include - sterling button, flat buttons, indians, wheats, memorial cents, nails, sinkers, lures, big iron junk, 2 axe heads, hatchet head and a ton of bits of wire and other metal. I will post pics of the other finds later. The ring is the second gold of the year. The silver coin 1739 is my oldest yet and I couldn't be happier. I hope one of you hunters can tell me what it is. The water levels keep going down and I will be swimming all week. Thanks for looking! DD.
