Hello My Friends!!
I had another great detecting day!! My streak has extended to 26 straight "silver" hunts in the turf with the SE Pro Coil.
I met Mike(Ratman) at our "Silver Spot" in the park this morning, and before I even got there, Mike had two silver coins. After congratulating him, I was hoping I could get just one today to extend my streak. Within about half an hour, I managed an older woman's flower sterling ring, down around 7". About a half hour later, I got what I came looking for; a mint '63 Rosie. I was on the board, and now I could relax a little, and see what else was still left from this heavily pounded/pillaged spot of the park. I've been coming to this area of the park for the past 6 weeks now, hunting the area almost twice a week, 3-4 hours at a time, and it's still producing the deepies. Today, I got a bonus....4 pieces of jewelry. All the pieces were silver. My favorite is the antique style silver amethyst ring. It's a beauty!! 
Unfortunately, the lawnmower did a number on one side of it, but the stone is still intact. There's only one marking in the inside, and it says "SILVER". It's my favorite and most detailed style woman's silver ring I have found in quite some time. The other pieces of silver jewelry are a sterling ring which has another silver loop soldered on. The stone is not really a stone on the ring....it's a solid piece of silver made to look like a diamond. There was an encrusted iron chain attached to the little loop on one end that I just threw away. I wish the chain had been silver too, but it wasn't. My last piece of jewelry was a large size silver (.925) pendant with 4 CZ's attached. When I dug it out of the ground it did not look like silver...it had a yellowish paint on it. As I was chipping the paint off, I noticed a black color underneath. Both Mike and I thought the pendant was just silver plated, but after doing electrolysis on it, the black came off, showing the beautiful silver underneath.
So my final tally today was 2 '44 Mercury dimes, 1 '63 Rosie, 15 Wheaties(dates ranging from 1917-1958), and four pieces of silver jewelry. Just when I thought this site wasn't going to give up any more finds, it sure surprised me today. I'll probably be going back soon.
Thanks for looking!!
Keep the Passion High!!

Your wilver streak is, by far, one of the most impressive feats of datecting that Tnet has ever seen. 
Many people couldn't get one wilver coin in a hunted-out park...let alone 500+ over the past two years. 
I bet you are getting quite a collection of rings and other pieces of jewelry from those parks. 
keep it fun!
Sorry for the late reply! Here ya go, Dan! Unbelieveable!!
