Ok where do I start.....what a fabulous hunt.The day was great the weather was perfect. The very first thing found was by my hunting partner and he got a 1885 seated dime, that got us both jazzed up, believe me the dime was 2" deep, he almost didn't dig it because he just dug several aluminum pieces all around it at the same depth!

then 2 minutes later, I found the Indian penny, it was beside a large tree and maybe 3" deep, I couldn't believe how shallow these coins were. What a beauty! you can clearly read Liberty on the headband, this coin is awesome shape. I was doing the happy dance I finally broke into the 1800's!!!
Then my second find I got a bouncy signal, it was pulltab, then penny back and forth. I said to myself I am digging who knows what it is, well 4" down I popped out this 18K ring, needless to say the happy dance was done again by me....My mom told me this ring is extremely old and the outside is coated in copper??? does anyone know anything about the markings inside the ring?

then to finish the day I got 2 wheats 1942, and 1944. My partner did not get anything else. He was more than happy to go home with the Seated Dime

Man I wish we had your soil! That Indian would not look like that pulled from my neck of the woods! Good job, keep us posted.

Congrats on the nice finds and 18K gold! The hallmarks in the gold ring look English and probably dates to the mid to late 1800s as your coins do. It is possible to figure out what the hallmarks mean, good luck. HH, Mike
