Old Church still has ring to it!

[SoreKneesDayton]

It was getting dusk but i had the urge to detect so I just went down to the church that is being sold down the street. I am still learning my new 12" coil so I really watching the numbers and I keep getting +77 VDIs. I dug for the experience with the new coil and each time it was a memorial cent--well ok.

Mosquitos were eating me alive and it was almost dark when I got the soft 77-78 VDI signal. Well, maybe it is a dime. So I dug and couldn't find a thing but kept hearing my pinpointer. Ground was clumpy so PP was skipping off a lot of big clods.

I dug one earlier down to 9-10 inches with nothing to show so I decided to take my licks and fill it in. Nope, I want to see what it is... I pulled out the clods and went through each one till I heard my pin pointer again...ohh it looks round.

I packed up and drove home-- 1 minute, and showed my wife the clod. "hey, I think that is a ring!!!! Happy dance...

I made sure I was not using my electric tooth brush--again--and got my old one and cleaned it up. A nice 10K gold filled wedding band about size 9.

Persistance pays off. I had given that church up as a dud...

Nice ring Terry, I wanted to clue you in on a good hunt site. I found 2 large cents, an 1879 Indian, a silver quarter and a nice civil war token. And it's in Beavercreek, an old farm that was torn down, a big 12" coil would be just the thing to find more. PM me for more info.

Nice Ring! The ones I find (like on Monday) are mood rings and smashed ones. :P That one must have a decent amount of silver to give that high of a reading.
