Yesterday's weather was just nasty...cold, windy, rainy...just raw. Since it was still a day off, had to take advantage of it. Got out to a new place that had some potential, but has supposedly been hit for a while. The very first signal was some kind of white-metal ring... it was a solid tone that screamed "dig me!" Not sure how deep, seemed about 5 inches... but it was a surprise. Turns out to be a 14k white gold wedding band 4.7 grams. First gold of the year, and hopefully not the last.
Also picked up a 1947 Roosie, and a 1935 Merc, and two Wheats- 1916 and 1942.
Got a gold plated ring with clear stone. Looked like gold for a second, but it started flaking off. It's stamped 14kHGE (heavy gold electroplate). I can easily see how someone who didn't know may think it's gold.
Got a dateless buffalo nickel. Now I know you're thinking, "yeah, so?" But it's the best preserved one I think I've ever found. Very smooth surfaces.
Sometime in the hunt, I had just dug a regular ol' Jefferson nickel. Cover the plug and 4 inches away is a deeper quarter signal. Hoping it was going to be the first silver quarter of the year... it was a surprise to see a large copper sitting in the dirt. This meant this area was used much earlier than originally thought. Turns out to be a Draped Bust Large Cent! Dateless unfortunately. Almost looked like the outline of a Liberty Cap, but 99.99% sure it's a DB.
Also picked up a couple older buttons, one is tombac. There is also at least one musket ball... but are the other two musket balls too?
