Gold and Silver Finds

[The Beep Goes On]

Retired recently ... been out a few times over the last decade, but not like I used to hit it. Went through my old finds ... at least those that go into the "treasure chest". Gold on the left, then coins, and the silver. Best in terms of monetary value is the diamond ring - 1.03 carats total ... about $1500 at the time. About 20 gold items, over 80 silver items. Nothing compared to many, but it sure was fun finding this stuff ... mostly parks and a few old spots in Houston. Also have some cool historic items from Memorial Park (Camp Logan - WWI). I'm excited to get back out there, plus I need the exercise, lol, and gold is up. Cheers!

Great collection of finds ! It's nice that you are getting back out there. I know the feeling. Thanks for posting. There's still lots of stuff that has been waiting for you to uncover. Cheers !!

Happy you're back at it. I know that I've sure left a lot out there to be found, lol.

Great finds, especially the diamond ring and the Camp Logan pieces. Pretty impressive for hunting only occasionally. Sounds like perfect timing to jump back in with gold up—enjoy getting back out there!

Gold and silver is up. Unless you are going to sell (you obviously have not yet) the treasures are worth your experience, education, and pride/bragging rights.

Good luck increasing the pile!
Not everyone has a tangible pile of treasure that they find/accumulate. Sure folks have houses in rich markets and investments, but actual treasure they can hold in their hands?..

Thanks all! Much appreciated. This was not occasional detecting, it took years - I've only detected "occasionally" for the last 10 years or so, before that I went at every opportunity, even before work, etc. Here's some miscellaneous stuff, notably the Camp Logan (Camp Wolverine...? ;-) stuff. Some buttons and even a Lieutenant's bar. That place has been hit so hard but I find myself wanting to hit it again. Also included a pic of a ring that I wear daily - my favorite - Avery "Radiant Christ", and a couple of the diamond ring. I did get out today for the first time in a while; felt great, some coins and zipper pulls, etc. - nothing notable - pic of the field included - love the mist. Cheers!
