My best day yet...Large silver!

[Bunker]

Hello all,
Hit a local park today. Trying to find a ring or two. First sweep of the day was a solid 37, I'm thinking dime and pop out a large silver ring. Decided to go for deep targets today and found a 1924 wheatie, then later on a really deep silver tone and found my first Barber Half (1901) at about 9 inches (seriously, had to take a step back and take a deep breath). Short time later a 1918D Merc. So I was pretty happy at the end of the day.
Thanks for looking and hope your weekend is as good as mine!
HH,
Bunker

Bunker, you get all that in a day and your are "pretty happy?" I would have been delirious! I consider your take to be outstanding, nice work!!!

Bunker,
Great silver finds. That's truly a great day! I also found a 1918-D Merc today.
How easy is the Safari to run?
Keep up the great finds!

sweet silver!!!! i love my SAFARI!! it just is a awesome machine. sniffs out vs and buffs like crazy also. MR TUFF

 

[Bunker]

To umrgolf... yes they are, thanks for looking.

Roland, I was in too much shock to feel anything to be honest!!

Turtleman, I really like my Safari. But, it is the only machine I have ever had, so I don't have anything to compare it to since I started in March. It was like a light bulb went off in my head today, listening for the DEEP silver tones. It is very easy to use and once you are use to the tones it makes a lot of sense.

Thanks Mr. Tuffs, Got a LONG way to go to match your finds!!! Only found 2 buffs so far, they are so close to pull tabs down here in FL.

HH everyone this weekend,
Bunker

Thanks guys, does anyone know what the symbols are inside the ring?

Bunker,
When I posted a pic of my sterling ring find, I was told that symbol is the silversmith that made the ring. Also, there are a bazillion of these symbols and finding a particular one is tough. I believe there are reference books of these symbols....don't quote me on that. Try here for some online references:
