I have learned so much from you guys on this site....

One of the first rules of MD'ing I remember reading on here was to keep hunting all the way back to your vehicle. Today that paid off for me as I was on my way back to the truck, I got a quarter sound about 15 ft from from the cab door. As I was digging the plug I was thinking that a quarter on my last plug was a good way to end the day, but much to my surprise I got dug my first precious metal ring. It is silver, not gold, but it is huge and heavy and marked .925, so I am happy............it must weigh nearly as much as a quarter. I didn't get any other silver coins today, just a wheatie I can't get a date off of yet and some clad, but the silver ring did make it a good day. Thanks to all who keep posting their tricks on here and don't stop with them.

You're right about the knowledge on this site. I've picked up quite a few tips here as well. The "keep the coil to the ground" on the way back to your car tip has worked out well a few times for me also. Congrats on your first silver ring.

Sweet man, yeah I've found a wheatie and a franklin half detecting on the way back to my car, so never stop swinging

Congrats on the ring. I always swing on my way back to the car. Its kinda like the lottery. You can't win if ya don't play. WTG

Way to "swing your way back"!
It always pays off in the end.

I found my little gold ring the other day in a similar fashion. I just got a low battery signal on my prizm IV. As I was walking back to the car to change batteries ( I always keep an extra set in my detector bag) I got the "solid nickel" signal about 2 feet from an asphalt path in front of the parking lot!

I picked off a silver quarter at 8" right on the edge of a parking lot.It pays to keep swinging all the way to your vehicle.
