DUG = Silver ring ~ 11 wheats cents. NOT DUG = 99 gram Silver necklace!!

[oddcoins]

I met up with Ron yesterday morning to go detecting in Corvallis Oregon. Ron had a much better day than me, but I had lots of fun none-the-less! As you may have seen Ron's post yesterday, he dug two silver quarters, a silver dime, several wheats cents, and lots of clad. Here's what I dug:

5.5 gram silver ring (marked 925)
1924-S Wheat cent
10 other wheat cents ~ dating from 1919 to 1958
4 clad quarters
14 clad dimes
55 memorial cents
zero modern nickels!

NOT DUG ~ Here's the story on the big silver necklace I found! I work for a property management company. They own a old house that was built in 1904. I've been there detecting several times over the last 12 years that I've worked here ~ and I've dug lots of silver, Indian cents, and wheats there. Now they are planning on demolishing this old house to build more apartments (Boo . . . BOO!!!) ~ oh well, not my decision. Anyway, the house and garage are empty right now, so was checking out the place. I went into the garage, and just like any other garage it's very dusty & dirty ~ in the corner by the wall on the floor I saw what looked like just a chain of some sort ~ maybe a dog's collar. So I pulled it out of all the dirt, dust, and cobwebs. It's a silver 18" chain necklace marked 925!! I took it to Ron and he weighed it for me ~ 99 grams!! That's over 3 ounces of 92.5% silver!! SCORE!!! Check out the picture I posted of it ~ I put a US dime next to it so you can see the size of this thing ~ it's a monster!

Thanks for looking!

Pretty good for a guy from the "wet side" of the State.....
If you don't have enough to do there, try researching some of the old lumber camps, where the cutters went into the woods and lived in tents for months on end. My Dad was one of them, lived up the Grande Ronde, outside of LaGrande. Haven't done any of that, because I am living in S. Korea. Probably some have done some, but should be some camps that have not been hunted.
Let me know if and when you do go, and what you find.
