Today we went back to the closed church in small town OK (3rd time). I am posting pics of all three trips. The first time we went, a few months ago, we found a 1902 V nickel.Today's finds are the 10k gold ring and the 1952 dime. I believe we had 1 wheatie today and of course my collection of pulltabs continues to grow. The total is as follows. Its funny, yesterday a guy told us we should check the church up the street because people still go there and he has a friend that metal detects who does pretty well. I thanked him while telling myself its hunted out and I don't really want clad, BUUUTTTT went and checked it out for awhile today anyway. The only thing I really found there was the silver dime. A part of me went "nana nana na". It feels double good to find something good in a "hunted out" area. Got bored with cans and went a block up to MY area. Spent a little time buying neighborhood kids push up pops and letting them play with the detector. Once they left...GOLD and needles. Tomorrow, I think we are off to the lake to see what people may have lost. Thanks for looking and reading.

1902 Nickel

7 Wheaties with the earliest being 1919

1946 Nickel

1952 Dime

Broadman Supplies Baptist S S (Sunday school pin) Others I've found online say they are from the 1950's

10K Gold Initial (S) Ring. In the hole with this was a hypodermic, thank goodness it was capped.

Oh and I almost forgot the AWESOME tag that was stamped "Dispose of properly" partially ripped.

And all the can slaw removed from the area. :)

Thanx to all of you, I have been metal detecting for about 4 years off and on. Just got the Ace 250 a few months ago and was starting to wonder if it had something against "precious" metals. LOL

"10K Gold Initial (S) Ring. In the hole with this was a hypodermic, thank goodness it was capped."

If you still have it take the hypodermic to a fire station, ambulance service, most Doctor's Offices or Hospital...they have sharps boxes just for hypodermic needles.
 
Thanks again guys. On my way out the door now to see what else I can find.
 
I hear Burl Ives singing "Silver and Gold". Great finds and better luck today!
