Took the day off to dirt fish. I went back to the site I hunted last Saturday with my Brother-In-Law. I re -detected the front yard since the leaves, nuts, and twigs were raked to the curb. Started on the side my B-I-L hunted. Pulled both silvers (42 Merc & 42P OD nickle):icon_thumleft: , a 1900 IHP, :icon_thumleft: four wheats (1940 x 2, 41, & 55), :icon_thumleft: a memorial, the token, :icon_thumleft: gold ring, :headbang: 3 buttons, pocket knife, brass drain plug, & the green oval thing in the picture. BOY I'M GLAD HE'S A ROOKIE :occasion14:

Then I went to the part I detected last week and pulled the 1904 V nickle, :icon_thumleft: 1929 Buffalo, :icon_thumleft: 1888 IHP,:icon_thumleft: 1916 wheat,:icon_thumleft: a lead seal, 3 sinkers, cut bullet, a NY City Button Works military button,:icon_thumleft: a memorial and the clad quarter was a surface find.

The Spoon handle, pocket watch and threaded silver looking piece came from the side yard.

This has been the best front yard I have ever hunted (virgin grounds). :notworthy:

Wow LD...I would be happy with what you found today from a yard, but when you add in the other hunt, that's just phenomenal.

Way-To-Slay, Loco! Is your combat-damaged gold ring plated, hard to tell in the photo? Always cool to find, and the coins are great. Congrats, Sub8-)

It's gold alright, missing a piece, but still stoked:headbang: It has taken me 16 months to find a gold ring.

That looks like a good full day of goodies. That is incredible! You must have been on cloud nine when it ended. A very satisfying day for sure.

Congrats on the gold, dude!! And I can't imagine what your keeper coin collection looks like at this point, but I imagine buckets are involved. :)

I forgot to mention that the V-Nickle was a bucket lister. I was so tickled about the trifecta.
