Woke up early and worked on my new old boat, 1996 sixteen foot Carolina Skiff. The weather was much cooler, but the humidity is in the 90% range. I was rebuilding the hubs on the trailer and was very sweaty, decided at 3:00 pm to go for a dip at my honey hole. second target was this 1911 V nickel, my first ever. If you have noticed I have been asking for this for awhile.



I then chased a few targets and came up with the two rings, it was cold but I kept hitting good 50's signals and I gritted my teeth (to stop them chattering) and kept hunting. I finally got to another 50ish target and like the rings it was deep. I was in water up to my chin (I'm 6 ft tall) Finally after digging Approximately 18 " I look in the scoop and there was a Indian buffalo(1928) in there. I checked the hole and heard a blast high tone, up comes a 1945 Quarter, then another mid scratchy tone, another buffalo Indian(1927). I lasted about an hour then left. I'm a very happy hunter, but still cold!
Enjoy the pix, HH & GL

You just remarked on my last post how you wanted to find a V nickel. Nice going.
 
I'm very impressed with the rings - they both look old (20's -30's ?)
 
Hey treblehunter!! CONGRATS!! Neat finds and Nice Rings!! Looks as if you did yourself quite proud!! Anyway, GOOD LUCK and GOOD HUNTING!! VERDE!!
 
Nice little signet ring and glad you finally got your V.
 
Nice digs. Thanks for the pics
 
I forgot, these are my first gold rings, I'm also thinking 20's or 30's
I'm still so pumped up from finding all that stuff, seem like every time I looked in my scoop there was something cool in there.
Thank you all you guys for all your nice comments. I can't wait until Monday,I can take them to my jeweler.I hope that red stone is real. They both had 10 k marks along with maker marks
