Double Ringer

[GulfCoastRelix]

Out in Pensacola today for a short bit at my favorite hunting spot using my Ace 250. This little machine never ceases to amaze me. Got a solid signal showing quarter to 50 cents had to dig. Behold 2 nice silver rings in 1 hole. The first looks to be hammered silver so has some age to it. The other has a nice aquamarine stone. Found plenty of clad and a silverplated spoon which I looked up for date purposes. This spoon was made by Wallace and states the pattern as ELMO which was produced in 1931. Not bad for 3 inches in sandy soil. The site I am on dates back to the 1700's and using old sanborn maps and google earth was able to overlay where the houses once stood in the 1880's. Going to keep scouting but gotta go deeper. Hope to find those privy pits soon. Sorry for the pics being so bad had to use my camera phone.

Way to go! 2 rings in one dig: saves your energy for whooping on those old Spanish coins you find later on!

Nice looking silver rings and silver spoons
Sounds like you also did a great job in researching the site
