I had a co-workers property lined up to hunt, but a solid rainfall right before my outing forced me to visit a park instead where I need not worry as much about the potential mud. I elected to hit my old elementary school, as always knowing it's well hunted, but I've had some luck there this year and the ground was uncharacteristically soft from the rain for digging. A few uniques: a button with an American Eagle on it, a crusty 1919 cent. But on the way out, laying high on the ground just in the dirt, I hit a quick double signal and pull by hand a silver ring. The stone (whether real of not) hit me first, but I could tell with almost certainty it was a silver band. The marking on the back is S925..not used to seeing the "S" there. Is that unique:confused:?

So, picture: thanks and good luck.:happy3:

Nice saves! I think the 's' just means 'sterling'. Sterling is 92.5 % silver. Congrats!
 

hey your plan B panned out just fine, great ring!
 

Congrats on the nice finds. :thumbsup: The detecting gods were on your side. Just goes to show that no site is totally hunted out.
 

Nice hunt, silver makes the day good ! :occasion14:
 

Great silver ring, congrats. I love those "on the way back to the car" find stories. I have found some beauties also on that walk. Sub 8-)
 

nice secondary location hunt
