A Safari first...

[Ray in CA]

I had been eyeing an old easement for quite some time, and today while heading out to WalMart I decided to take a go at it with the Safari. And I'm glad I did. My Safari found its first silver ring (with turquoise chips)!

I almost didn't dig it (feeling lazy) as the signal kept bouncing between the +38 and +14 value, back and forth, and I had already dug a bunch of memorials and a couple clad dimes and really didn't feel like getting more of the same. But in the back of my mind I recall all those times when an iffy signal turned out to be something good, and one doesn't ever want to walk away wondering if it was a good target or not.

Now I need a first gold ring.

Man your kicking butt in silver this month ray! I'm just happy to get out and go detecting because of my ubber busy schedule. Good luck in the hunt! Keep on digging the silver!

Even those iffy signals have some hidden surprises. Great silver find there Ray. Hope to see you at the 09 Hunt in May.

Thanks everyone!

Just to clarify...this is not my first silver ring ever found. I've found lots of them. It's just the first one I've found with the Safari.

I'll try to straighten it but silver is much harder than gold, and the area where the band is attached looks like it could break if I'm not careful.

zaxfire, I'm starting to really love my Safari now that I'm finding stuff with it. At first it's hard to get used to, but once you figure it out the finds start coming. Personally, I think it's a bit too high priced. If you're gonna pay at least a grand for a detector, start looking at the SE or E-Trac.

Matt, yeah, it seems the silver is starting to come now. Just gotta get over the bigger silver now.

49'er, I didn't even know the hunt for WA had been scheduled. Now I'll have to go back to the WA forum and check out the date.

Nice find for sure Ray.

You may check in your area to see if there are any people going through a gemology course. They can sometimes take things like your ring in and get credit for repairing it.
