Gold, silver, and "YIKES"...4 days' hunting

Hi :hello:

Camera wasn't working for the past few days , so I postponed posting my finds until I repaired it.

Winds have been blowin' and moving some sand so it was a fun -filled 4 days of hunting while Hank practiced his golfing.

Found some "oldie" coins (1914 "wheatie", a "Liberty" dime, a silver "Roosie") a "not so old" Kennedy half, and a $1.00 Presidential coin.

Also finally on the 4th day ( today) I got lucky with a pretty 14K gold ring

Also met a couple of hunting buddies out there whom I haven't seen in a while...it was nice to chat for a few minutes with these terrific guys/ terrific detectorists.

Was hunting the "muddy flats" at low tide and found the ring on the rim area of a depression
that I spied while carefully reading this favorite beach. ring was not deep, just one scoop.

Stones are not remarkable; weight : 2.28 gms.

Here's some pics.

Thanks for looking at my finds.

The best to all of you in your detecting.

Hey Lorraine

Nice digs...Mercury dimes are one of my favorite coins to find. That is a very neat little ring, very stylish. Seems like you've been finding a few gold pieces lately :)
You found that creepy thing at just the right time of year......... Halloween!

Still waiting here in SoCal for the El Nino season

I'm west of Hammonasset... in the West Haven ->Westport area.

Are the Morrossos's the family who formerly owned the Pleasant View Inn?

Haven't been to Ham this year; Hank would like to golf there at the near-by golf course so we may get there some day-perhaps in the Spring; would be nice to meet up with you for a hunt before the beach opens for the season ( I understand that there is no detecting allowed during the "beach hours" once the season begins.

The Morrosso or Moroso family make the high performance car parts - very well known. I hung out with one of them when I was a young punk with a Camaro and liked to race. Anyway, when I'm out that way i'll shoot you an IM -
