Finds from a 2-hour hunt today at a high school.

Still haven't learned to separate comments from photos. First photo of most of the stuff I kept today, including a ring, some coins, and something I've never seen before. Will post photos of that in the What Is It forum. The silvery cap is the thing I can't identify. It is stamped CUBA on the end, has a hollow end, may have been screwed onto the end of something: a pen, maybe?

The ring is heavy, small, and base metal, but with what appears to be tiny ruby eyes and possibly a monkey's head. Some (gold?) gilt still showing on protected areas.

That's a creepy looking ring, but a ring's a ring. Congrats.

As far as separating comments from photos:

1: Type in your caption
2: Click on the in line attachment (camera icon far left just above the smileys)
3: Post your picture

Every time you click the in line attachment icon it will say attach 1. You have to change that number to correspond with the photo.
Attach 1 - 1st photo attach 2 2ND photo and so on.

Good luck.

Thanks for the directions, willie d! I'll try that after tomorrow's hunt.

Yeah, the ring looked REAL creepy at first. But with it in hand, it has more golden highlights where the monkey's hair would have been, and doesn't look quite so ...

OK, still looks creepy to me.

LOL
I forgot to mention that after you type your caption, hit the ENTER button before you click the inline attachment icon so that "attach 1" is below the caption.

Thanks, friend. When you're best find for the month is a creepy looking ring, things can only look up.

Good news today: I dug almost no junk signals. Either I'm learning to mentally discriminate the bad junk from the good junk, or I'm finally getting lucky. Spent the entire 2 hours looking under a single tree, half-a block from the school building, where there was a little more shade and the ground was the consistency of SOFT concrete. Took both hands to use the screwdriver to probe. The Coinmaster Pro is SO sensitive, it was reacting to a penny at 1 inch depth even off the ground nearly 10 inches! I have to admit yesterday's hunt nearby got boring after 2 hours of digging up used foil packets of ketchup and mustard.

Still not ready to go to my gold cache site. Keep thinking of dinking a $2.50 or $10 gold because I couldn't figure out EXACTLY where the signal was coming from. But I'll keep hunting the school yards until I'm ready for finding the gold.

That's one advantage to living on the West Coast: gold isn't all that uncommon here, if you've done the research. And in my case, even if you have done the research.
