3 More Rings From Elementary School Today & A Beautiful 1924 Merc!!
Hey everyone. I went back to the elementary school that I went to yesterday again today. All I can say is that I glad I did, even thought my gator tool finally broke
. I guess the guys at Kellyco did not field test it in Montana soil lol. Anyways they have a lifetime guarantee, so I will call them tomorrow and have them send me a new one. I found no wheaties today, but did prove there is silver where there is wheaties. This is the nicest and oldest mercury dime I have found to date. It is my 3rd and it is a 1924. The school was built in 1901, and I have a ton of ground left to cover still, so I am sure there will be more silver coinage and rings to come. The gold initial ring is 10k gold filled and was about 6 inches deep. The ring with the stone missing is sterling silver and was also about 6 inches deep and was found right after the mercury dime. I believe the four diamonds left in it are real, to bad the big stone is missing 
. I did bring home the dirt to check for the stone, I will let you all know if I find it. I doubt I will though, as the ring looked as if it had a battle with the lawnmower years ago. I did manage to fix it with my ring mandrel though. The aluminum ring is the other one I found today. The ring with the opals and single diamond still left in it was found in a co-workers back yard and is 18k HGE (Heavy Gold Electoplated). This dime looks almost uncirculated with amazing details still left on the coin. It was deep, at about 7 inches. It also made the fact that my digging tool broke worth all of the while. I also found a bullet, a whatzit, 91 cents in clad and quite a bit of trash (not pictured). All in all not to bad for about 2 1/2 hours hunting. I wanted to stay longer but my tool broke and I did not have a backup. Hope you guys enjoy the pics and Happy Hunting as always of course.
Thanks for Lookin,
