So, got out today for 6 hours. Within the first hour I had two wheat pennies 1944 and 1939....gotta be silver here. A few hours go by and I came across a few signals all very close...used pinpoint mode on the ATPro to determine if it was one oddly shaped object or multiple targets to tune in my search...(something I've been doing lately that helps me to not pass on spots where my detector is going crazy.) Turns out it was multiple junk objects....but I had a decent signal in the middle of it all so I dug and out she came....very special to me because I'm in the Army and it is WWII era (our greatest generation in my opinion)
It's broken but still really cool, no name otherwise I would find the family and give it to them.
So about 17 pre-64 pennies later I'm wondering where the dimes and quarters are right? Was still excited about the ring so that made up for it. I was doing the infamous "one last row and then I'm done" routine and then I got a really faint dime signal by some iron...was showing at 6 inches deep....so I get down and pop the plug off and when I flipped it a ring fell off of the top. At first I thought it was a keychain ring being right on top of the grass....I picked it up and it was another sterling Ring! This was a fresh loss but there is no name on the inside of it. After looking it up online I was amazed to see them going over 300 dollars for a tiny sterling ring...guess tiffany is a big deal.
So kept going right after this and within another minute and 5 feet I get another faint dime signal....so I pop my plug and the signal disappeared...stupid minerals is what I thought...put the plug back in and got a low 70 signal behind the original plug....it was solid so I dug it....turned out to be a bullet casing....then when I checked that area again I got that dime signal but stronger....and right when I saw it in the dirt I knew I found my pre 64 dime...actually 64....not really "pre" haha.
Anyway at this point I'm very excited but I had to leave....I stayed 20 minutes past my deadline....so I start walking back to the car which is about 100 yards away....not even swinging my detector...just walking full speed with it out to my side...picked up four more modern dimes that way.. which brought the clad total to $6.40...
Thanks for reading if you made it through the ramble.
