I took the Xterra out for a walk in the woods a week or so ago and stumbled onto an enormous pile of construction dirt. You could tell from the full grown trees growing out of it that it had been there a really long time. It towered about 25 feet straight up and about 40 feet long. The sides were too steep to detect much but there was a nice path to the top of the pile. I searched on top for maybe an hour and didn't find anything before I got this nice silver signal. Hoping for a silver coin, I never expected to pull out a ring. It was corroded black and loaded with mud so I didn't know for sure it was silver until I got it home and got some of the corrosion off. I'd say its dates to somewhere around the turn of the century to maybe the 20's. The stone in the ring is actually a rock which must have been stuck in to replace the original.
I've been back to this stretch of woods several times and haven't found so much as a penny, but this section of woods is full of smaller dirt piles and landfill so there may be more there to be found.
