Oct 17, 2012: 10 Silvers and a piece of GOLD!

[testing123]

Got back today to the area that yielded 13 silvers the other day. Had all day to
finish this place and got out there bright and early. Within 45 minutes I had
three silvers (coins in pic are shown in order found). Seemed like it was pretty
quick to 7 silvers, then slowed down after that. Ended with 10 silver coins!
Haven't looked through the rest of the coins, but there's one IHC, I think one
V nickel, and at least 3 buffalo nickels too. Probably a bunch of wheats too.

Early in the hunt I got an unassuming low tone. Dig down about an
inch and see some kind of jewelry... came out and I thought, "what the hell is
this?" Looked like junk and something fell off it... After figuring out it was a
mangled ring, I wiped it off and didn't see any flaking... and thought I saw
some kind of stamp, but couldn't quite make it out. Found what fell out, it was
a green (peridot?) heart stone. Was fortunate to find it. Got home and cleaned
it off... boy is it mangled, but she's 10k!! Weight 1.8 grams. Has four micro
stones...since they're so small, they're probably diamonds.

HH All!

You pulled more Rosies and Mercurys out of the ground in one hunt than I have dug in six years of metal detecting!

thanks for the comments everyone! I wonder how much it'll cost for a jeweler to quickly fix it... probably wouldn't be worth it as it's gold value is about $42...

Very nice silvers! I thought you had a keychain clasp or bad earing by looking at the picture.... Had to read your story to realize it was a ring! Great finds!
