After getting off work at 0600 hours and pulling my normal 12 hour shift; I ran home; picked up my son and grabbed our gear. We got out for a ten (10) hour hunt where we wanted to finish off an area before moving to a new location on the Army Depot. Well; we found the old park area and didn't do too bad. My son found 12 wheats and another nice buffalo 5c! 1930-S! A couple marbles, silver plated spoons and old cars.
I was able to find a few silvers; a 1910 Boy Scouts Token; only 5 wheats and some nice silver rings. Only one gold ring (14K) that is no way old. The large silver rings appear old with one of them having a small gold nugget attached to its face. A kids ring that has an anchor and USN (US Navy) on the front. One of the smaller silver rings looked old and crude. Upon further inspection, I could read the inside and saw "United States". It turns out to be a SLQ that had been made into a coin ring!!!! Our FIRST ONE!!!! I tried to find some type of date but nothing...........
Also found a nice arrowhead in the sandy area after digging a hole. We have found a few from here but not this large. Worst part of the day, I wore a tank top and no sun screen. I'm paying for it today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You would think after years of metal detecting I would have learned by now....
Thanks for looking and everyone be safe. Getting hot early out there!!!!!
