A Ring & Some Wheaties

[Carolina Tom]

I went out for a quick one hour hunt after work yesterday. I dug some clad and few wheaties, but just could not seem to find a silver coin. Silver coins are like bad dogs, they do not come when you call them.

I did manage to dig a ring... it cleaned up nicely, and looks like silver... but alas... no markings. JUNK!

Thanks for looking, and hope that your luck is better than mine.

I am with you on the rings...they irritate me when I discover they aren't real, but I have come to the conclusion that they very well "could have been". Next time! Right?

Hey OD... Hope all is well.

I like rings better than can slaw or pull tabs, but when I pull them out, and they look pretty good, but turn out to be junk, It frustrates me. People should only buy REAL jewelry, so when they lose it, and I find it, I am not frustrated. The fact that the world does not revolve around me just sucks!

Keep digging brother! Tenacity is what scores the good stuff in this hobby. Or living in Maine where the history starts in the 1600s and I'm the only idiot that'll hike miles thru the forest on the chance there's a good site out there lol
The old coins are a tricky beast indeed. Seems like you go through a drought and just when you're ready to give up....bang. There's your coin that reignites that passion. What a hobby this is

Silver is a wierd little monster
Comes when u least expect it

Like warts........lol

NIce spin Dave...I have to look thru my files, I think I had a ring just like that, that was silver....mine never had the stones if I remember correct...

Yeah nice digs unfortunately the days of people buying and loosing good jewelry are thinning out (what's wrong with them).

C.T., Still a very nice ring! better than some of the bent up junk I have dug up lately. Sorry for the lack of silver...that just means that you will find multiple silvers next time out!!...ddf
