Dirt Fishing for the droppings

[MackinawGirl]

My fiance and I went dirt fishing at an older school. We had been there before and found a couple of wheat pennies and clad but the weather turned on us and we had to wait two weeks to go again.
We found the normal clad, dimes after dime and copper memorial after memorial, a quarter here and there and then all of a sudden.....he find this:

It came out of the ground so bright and clean that when we got home we only had to rinse the dirt off. It is hard to show in the pictures but it looks better than most circulated silver coins look like. It was probably dropped new and waited for us to find it.

About 20 holes later I got a solid signal and saw this unmistakable silver ring come out of the ground with a clump of dirt inside. I got it home and cleaned it up the best I could and it sure is pretty even though it still has a little dirt in it.
Inside reads 925 Thailand sterling

On weekends I sometimes hit school grounds for lack of better places to go. More often than not, find trash, zinc pennies, clad coins etc, just as you did, but every so often, "BAM", Silver coin, Silver ring, makes my whole day. And to think, you may have walked by them a dozen times, until you hit that one square inch of planet earth, where that ring has been hiding, waiting just for you to come along. Ya got to love the hobby, because you "Just never know" You might now be "Hooked".

Great job to you both. My Son and I hit schools often (He works for the school district) and have had many good days like you had.
