Found A New Field And A Couple Of Goodies

[piggman1]

I went out this morning looking for some place new to look around that I hadn't done yet....and I found one. It didn't look like much but you could tell that the neighborhood had been using it for awhile. I really wasn't prepared to do a large area since I had my 4 X 6 coil and it is a little small for covering the area I like to cover on something like this. But once I started, I couldn't stop until I just couldn't bend anymore. The first target was a little .925 silver ring, that got by blood pumping. Then what seemed like forever I found a Kennedy half dollar, so I couldn't stop there either. Oh yea, Mastereagle, I found a zipper pull, too. I ended up with a bunch of clad, mostly pennies. The ratio here just isn't right for one of these fields. Tomorrow I go back with my 9 1/2" coil to work on it some more. I'm curious to see if the coin ratio turns out different. All in all, it was a pretty good day.

Piggman, I have been lurking awhile and am wondering if you ever got back to that field in which you found the Indian Wars eagle button among other assorted old stuff? That was an interesting assemblage, and I am very curious as to anything else you have recovered there.

I haven't gone back yet because every day now they are useing the field, sports season, and they ask that I not do it while the field is in use, even though I'm on the outside of the field. I am waiting for them to have a few games there to increase the odds of a good find. This is a ritzy type place, so the jewelery finds ought to be good. I'll get back to it soon.

Hey pigmay, your back in the mix, keep it up. With your obvious skills I know your going to pull a gold ring out of that place before it's over.

Went out last night with BB and ran the machine for 6 hours. NO zipper pulls.

Good finds for you though. Way to go!!

Hey Dave, nice silver ring. Are all 43 rings silver? I've gotten 56 rings this year and only 5 are gold and 1 silver...the rest are junque. Haven't ordered the coil yet, probably will on Monday. Nice batch of clad too.

 

[Boobydoo]

Nice finds Dave, congrats on all the goodies, especially the ring!

Smiles!

Hey Dave, nice silver ring. Are all 43 rings silver? I've gotten 56 rings this year and only 5 are gold and 1 silver...the rest are junque. Haven't ordered the coil yet, probably will on Monday. Nice batch of clad too.

I've only found 2 gold rings and 1 gold bracelet, the other 41 rings are .925 sterling. I've found about 13 junque rings, but the way I have mine set up discriminates those out most of the time. When doing these fields, my discrimination is set to accept +5 to +26, and +55 to +94 and reject the rest. That pretty well covers the silver and gold (pull tabs, aluminium shreds, nickels included). I reject anything between +27 to +54. It saves a lot of digging. If there is way too many zinc pennies, I change my high end to accept +70 to +94 so I don't pick those up either. only the copper pennies.
