Okay, I went out to get my fix after jealously reading the posts earlier. I achieved three firsts today with my ol trusty White's 6000 at a new neighborhood site I recieved permission to tect! Used to be an old house there that has been demo'd.
Started out by finding a car and a crane (toys
), darn things rang in the quarter/fifty cent range on my Whites...not a first though. I got my first next... my first pocket spill (all clad unfortunately, 2 quarters, a dime, and 6 pennies).
On to the next, got a signal which read high in the nickle/pull tab range (almost into the penny range) so I decided to dig it (I have read it many times on the forum) and I swear I was doing the happy dance all around that lot (at least, in my mind since I'm getting older and want to conserve my strength
) when I pulled that ladies gold ring out of the ground. Sorry to disappoint all (not as disappointed as me of course 
) but it did not look right so I cleaned some of the dirt off and looked inside the band. It had a mark all right, yep.... Avon! But still, it's my first gold (looking) ring.
Finally, the third first. I found my first gun! A little snub nose revolver (toy
). Hadn't seen one like it since the early seventies. Laying next to it was a cheap religious medal (Catholic). Some poor child was saved from a life of crime. 
I have yet to do more than a small percentage of the lot. I have found 3 wheaties, 1919s, 1950, and a 1956. So... I know I will hit a silver coin or two... amoung the clad, zincolns, can slaw, cars, etc., etc. I will keep you posted. Sorry, wife has camera and won't be back till the 19th... mmmm... gives me time to tect the Walnut Lot. Happy tecting to ya' all.
