Went to a local park established in 1891 with my Ace 250 in hopes of finding a bit of history. Pulled an insane amount of bottle caps and pull tabs, and so much trash. A couple of clad coins, and my first silver ring! I know it isn't much but it's an awesome feeling pulling something that is fairly neat out of the ground. I can't wait to do some more research on some places, get some permissions, and go fishing some more!

You can probably get a jeweler to straighten(round) that up for you.

Congrats on your first silver and welcome to this Awesome hobby!!

I'm sure you already know there's no going back now, you've been sucked into this obsession and it only gets worse. Lol
You'll never look at a park or old yard the same again...
