I shot ym buddy Mark an email late last night after I read in a post (on another forum) that he had today off. So I made the trek up his way and I'm thankful I did! He took me to a park that I had never been to before. Thankfully he knew the honey hole areas and the areas to avoid. He led me straight to the goodies! I can't thank him enough for today! 
The last time I went detecting was on another forum's group hunt on Oct. 5. 26 days without detecting makes Brian a dull boy. I reached several milestones today. I started the day needing 5 silver to eclipse 100 on the year (actually since June 8, that's when I started detecting again). Well, I got there plus one!
Then to top it all off, I also found my first ever gold ring with the Explorer! I've dug a fair amount of gold in the water with the Excalibur, but never one on land with the Explorer! I was shocked when it came out of the hole. It hit in the wheat penny range. If you turn it on its side then it sounds like a pull tab. I just got lucky! Not only is it my first ever gold with the Explorer, it is also the first class ring I have ever found. Dated 1966 with the initials DP. No school name is listed and it is bent in such a way that I can't read the karat. It weighs in at a solid .5 av. oz.
Signals were deep today. The SLQ was straight up and down at about 7". Another quarter was 8" and most of the wheats were 7-9" deep. The class ring was about 5-6", I can't recall, I was so excited when I saw it pop out of the plug, haha.
Total Finds:
1966 Gold Class Ring
ND Standing Liberty Quarter
2 Silver Washington Quarters (1941, 1942)
2 Mercury Dimes (1916, 1936)
1964 Silver Roosevelt
BSA Neckerchief Slide
2 Indian Head Cents (1890, 1900)
31 Wheat Cents
1927 Buffalo Nickel
