Found My First Sterling Ring !!

[ivy_walls]

The other day I had about 30 minutes to kill at the end of work and was no where near my usual haunts so I went a church that was my elementry school which closed about 1971. At that time I was in 1st grade and had to transition to a different school. Since then the building has been a church but an area that was the playground has never changed much. I had hunted this place when I first got my Ace 250 and once since then but it has been a while. Well I didn't find much coinage but i was going around the foot of a swingset and got a dime reading. I didn't expect this - does sterling mean it is silver The ring says on the inside 'sterling kiddiegem'. Also I have been hunting with the Ace in sensitivity mode 1 notch from being maxed out in areas with little trash and having lots of good luck that way. Anybody else try this technique


Thanks for looking and for reading

I hunt with about 4 notches on my ACE. I have hunted almost at max, but get a lot of
false signals.

I guess I should back off a bit but it seems like I have been getting more wheats cause the you have to check signals more carefully. I had been at 4 notches all this time too until about 2 weeks ago. maybe I will go to 5 and see what happens there. thanks for your replay and I still have not gotten a sunray probe - maybe someday though !!

Sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver, and is the standard for silver jewelry. The silver is usually alloyed with a copper or copper nickel base metal to strengthen the silver. Jewelry marks "STERLING" or ".925" mean the same thing. Congrats on an awesome first ring!!
