Well, this was an interesting day. Got a call from Lakemonster and, with only a short time to hunt, we decided to hit a park that is about halfway between us. Lakemonster was trying out his just bought today White's VX3.....he was exited and I was glad for him. We both began to pick up signals right away and began finding a little clad. On about my 3rd or 4th hit, I got a strange looking zincoln signal on my F75.....jumping from about 68 to 78, so, I dug. Around 4" down I find my zincoln, recheck the hole and there is my 78 signal, whoa?! Digging a little deeper, I called Lakemonster over, he checked with his new machine and agreed with the assessment......another good signal about 8 1/2 inches down. A little more digging and there it was....a dog tag! No, wait....not a dog tag....it is 5 Dongs!! A little more poking around with the Garrett Propointer and, hot dog! (no pun intended) another 5 Dongs! A zincoln at 4" and 10 Dongs at 8 1/2" - 9"!! Here is a pic:
We continued to hit our share of clad and Lakemonster scores some silver with a little ladybug ring, maybe he will pop in with a pic. Just a few minutes later, after exhausting the tot lot of change, I hit a solid high quarter signal on the F75, an unwavering 86, so, I dig and this pops out:
It's hard to read, but, it does say "Sterling" inside the band. The sapphire is fake, however....the star does not follow the primary light source, it remains stationary. But, it is a heavy, solid silver ring! Today's take was not a bad one for a short hunt, about two hours or so:
A silver ring, a foil butterfly, a button, some clad and, can you get a grip on this....
.......10 Dongs!! I have found Mexican coins, Canadian coins and, now, two Vietnamese coins! Obviously, a drop from some Vietnam vet. Wherever he may be, my thanks go out to him for his service to our great country!!
