I had a brief, but highly productive hunt in the woods late yesterday. My first decent target was a pocket spill of IHP's
This was followed by a lovely big copper. This one is pretty rough, but the date is plain to see...1700! I'm guessing it's a William III half penny. Love the green patina on this coin.
Next was a very crisp high tone which turned out to be a 1909 Barber quarter. It's pretty rough too, but that's just fine.
Saving the best for last... was a gold ring. I very, very rarely find gold jewelry, given that I spend almost all of my time hunting in the woods. This ring is a large man's wedding band, weighing 0.33 oz. It's inscribed "MK to MH 1900", and is stamped "REED" and "18 b KT". The "b" is quite small...not sure what that means. I've done some searching on the internet for this marking, but so far, no luck. If any one has come across this stamp before, please let me know.
What I found so surprising about this hunt was that all of these finds were in roughly the same 400 square foot area. Good luck, and HH to All.
