Got a last minute invite to go metal detect an old non existent town.
Had been there a couple of hours when the guy who invited me found a 1916 Mercury Dime. That gave us hope that we were on the right track.
It wasn't 20 minutes after the Mercury Dime showed up that I got a screaming 81-82 VDI and tone. So I began digging. I got 3 inches down and the signal jumped to a 86-87 VDI and tone. Not sure what I had dug, I began breaking clumps of dirt apart. Then it popped out of the clod of dirt. More shiny.
Well, anyone who knows me knows I thrive on shiny. To my surprise it was the very ring Ive always wanted to find. A vintage 1960's Boy Scout Ring in awesome condition. Needless to say Im still stoked!
Thanks for looking! Happy Hunting!!
