Gold ring today plus 3 more rings , rings #80 - #83

[pl8man]

Got out early this morning to beat the heat here in San Jose . Went south of San Jose for a change . Stopped off at two schools but both were locked up . Then I remembered a school I had hunted back in the 90's that was close by so off I went . School was open and no games , sweet ! Only 5 minutes into the hunt and only mt 4th target I get a +18 nickel sound . At 5 inches down I saw GOLD ! Ring #80 for the year is a 14K gold wedding band . Very small , only 2 grams but I'll take it ! After that I had three more ring finds over about 2 hours . All are junk kids ring , #81 - #83 . The one is kind of cool with skulls around it . The other nice find was my first ever old Chinese cash coin . Not sure the date , could be late 1800's or early 1900's . Any know about this one ? Total clad was $5.49 . One note about this school , I believe it has been picked over for silver and clad . I found 27 nickels and not many quarters . That's alright because they left the gold behind .

Nice rings again brother!! The cash coin looks like some kid left it probably had brought it out for show and tell. I found a whole string once of Japanese Yen once at a schoolyard probably was there for a show and tell also =)

Nice finds! I had a 4 ring day today. No gold but 3 silvers and a clad. Maybe it's a trend today.

Just found some info on the cash coin . It is from 1644 - 1661 , Emperor Shih Tsu . This would be my oldest coin I have ever dug

I have found two rings like the one with the stars, three rings day my best so far, congrats on them and the gold

Nice haul. Gold is always good no matter what. Plus, it offsets the junk jewelry.

And that 15th century coin is just amazing. That's freakin' OLD!!

I dug a kids ring almost like the one with stars just a couple of days ago. Mine has hearts but it looks about the same.

But, a ring is still a ring.

LOL, finding a buttload of nickles tells me to pay particular attention to pulltab area signals.

There's some skulls to match your pendant!

So many detectorists just don't bother with pulltab/nickel type signals - to all of them a heart felt Thank You !

You got that right.

I dug a TON of pop tops and pulltabs today and later at another spot, just before dark I almost didn't dig a weak, pulltab like signal. I decided that one more wasn't gonna' kill me and out popped a nice gold earring. That saved an otherwise uneventful day and I'm still smilin'.
