Hello!

I went out detecting during my lunch break today and met Richard. It was kinda slow in my office today so I took a little extended lunch break! Here's what I dug:

Gold ring marked 10K
1952-S Roosevelt Dime
5 wheat cents ('35-S, '36-D, 41-S, & two '45-S's)
1 clad quarter
9 clad dimes
zero nickels
24 memorial cents
Cigarette Lighter that looks like a roll of quarters

I took pic's of the 1952 silver dime before and after I cleaned it up. This is my silver coin #72 for the year.

This gold ring is only the 2nd piece of gold that I've found with my SE. I don't know if the stones are real diamonds ~ a few of the stones have fallen out. I bet the ring is at least 4 grams, maybe 5 grams!

This is the weirdest and coolest lighter that I've ever dug ~ and it still works! Too bad I don't smoke! The top looks like a 1996-D Quarter ~ but instead of reading LIBERTY, it reads QUARTER LIGHTER. And the bottom is an exact copy of a regular pre-State quarter.

Thanks for looking!
Neil

Thanks man!

Yeah, it took me a minute to figure out that it was a lighter! When I first dug it it was all dirty and I couldn't figure it out for a moment! It was a fun find!
 
Silver and gold would have had me calling in sick to work, Neil.

The lighter is awesome, and I really think you should start smoking. Either that or get yourself a red velvet smoking jacket and start going to bars so that you can pull that sucker out and light cigs for the ladies.
