First Ring and Silver Coin of the Year

Bank Runner · Jan 25, 2011

Hello Everyone,

I am new to Metal Detecting having got a Garrett AT Pro for Christmas. I have started in my families' back yards and have made a few neat discoveries before venturing out into the parks. The best so far is this 1870s Guatemalan silver coin ring from a grassy area near my sister's driveway. It came out of the ground flattened and heavily toned. Here are some pictures of the ring after I rounded it out and gave it a thorough cleaning.

HH,
Karl AKA (Bank Runner)

Yeah, I saw those golden arches in Kuwait en route to Afghanistan and said, "One last chance for a chocolate milkshake." Their machine was broken.
