I wanted to go back to the ole high school once more before it got too cold..tonight winter returns here in Missouri!

Here's the one from this morning..sterling silver and small, but a ring nonetheless.

Those are awesome rings Nat! Whats your secret to finding rings? Thanks Coinman66
 
Wow Nat! You are very lucky! Very nice clad amount and jewelry to boot! WTG!!

I've been wondering why my favorite places to hunt have been so dry. The schools around here have always been good for a little clad and the occasional piece of jewelry. Well today I found out the truth! Somebody else is swinging away and getting my goodies! I've never seen signs of anyone else diggin until today! I guess I was in denial. >:( Oh well........gotta go outta town now to find good stuff! Boo!

Congrats on your finds...........hopefully, somebody else won't take away your honey hole!

Nice find on that ring. Clad is good for spending money ;D
 
Thanks everybody, I feel like a celebrity with all the nice comments ;D

Coinman, the only thing I keep in mind when I want to ring hunt is to go where lots of people have gathered..it seems like most rings I find are in athletic fields and high schools..a few years ago I found a nice man's ring at the same school but in a whole different area. Another time I found 2 within about 30 feet from each other in the middle of a soccer field.

Another thing..I put one of my rings on the ground the night before I went out to see what my unit would do at certain settings..on the setting I usually find alot of coins with, rings showed up as either a bottle cap or a ring on my display. For some reason, when I got that display I would dig and find nothing but pieces of aluminum cans buried fairly deep..I knew that every time I saw that display I would just have to keep digging up aluminum can pieces until one of those times I would get lucky and get a ring. It happened that way each time yesterday. Of course your machine may be different so you just have to practice with it to see how it behaves. As long as your hand doesn't hurt too much and your back doesn't give out, you'll eventually get rewarded..it just takes awhile and you need alot of patience.

I also find a bunch at grammar schools, but they're obviously smaller and of lesser quality.

I'm set on finding a nice class ring sometime soon, and I think the odds would be better finding one at a high school.

Moon, it's a bummer someone found your spot..he probably saw you out there one day and a light bulb came on inside his head. There's so many other places you could look though..I invested $5 for a city map the other day and went through the phone book to look up other schools, churches, etc. so I can hunt new territory not too far away.

When you go to a place you haven't been to before and start digging up stuff 30 seconds after you turn your machine on, you know you have a chance at finding something else besides coins.

nice haul~

Way to go Nate, nice find, Again!

I once new a fellow who went by the nickname of Fruit Jar. He always said, give him school yard and he would find a ring. This guy had tons of rings. He has since passed on to the Detector area in the sky. What he always said is you have to dig junk and trash to find good rings. I think he was right!

Nice silver ring, bet you dig a lot of pulltabs, bottle caps and nickles to find those! HH, Mike

There isn't much of a secret in finding silver rings, they ring up in the coin range. Now gold rings are another matter. You are going to have to enjoy digging pulltabs and aluminum foil before you can find those. Gold is going to register in the "trash" range on a detector, so expect to dig a lot of it.
