Recent hunts, one at the Iceberg: silver and an old ring

[Nate in Ohio]

Hey guys. Was able to get back to some more detecting trips lately (three hunts in particular). Two of them were at two different school sites, one of which produced the 41 merc and the 46 rosie.

Merc still attacthed to the original clump of dirt from the hole (lol, bad pic i know...cell phone camera :

Those hunts were a NICE break from battling all the dense brush and prickers and such from places like the Iceberg, which was the most recent hunt me and Mirage did. I lucked out in a small area I haven't really tried before and found two 41 quarters and a 17 merc. The beat-up green marble was right there in the hole with the merc. The other find I thought was pretty sweet was this old-looking, cameo-like ring. That thing was pretty deep, I was about to give up on it. The face on it looks kinda Victorian I guess, but the ring looks like it might be silver plated (and there are no markings on it). So yea, still some nice finds despite us all pounding the place...yea, it felt good to get the those silver quarters. 8)

Compact pried open:

Wheat dated 1915-D with the silver:

Thanks for looking guys, take care and HH!

Thanks for the comments guys!

What the He&* is the thingy on the right in the 3rd pic?

I actually have no idea. It says "9 FEET" and what looks like "BUSER." It actually folds out too, so there's 3 total faces.

Wow, I didn't even realize that 2nd face. Thanks Gypsy!

Nate,

Is it a vaccine tag? It has screws sticking out of the back of each end. All I see on it is "ANACONDA 1." Almost looks like it's some kind of handle but who knows I guess. I thought the 1 was part of a date at first too. Thanks MM.

I didn't see the other face either!

Nice collection of coins and treasure! The ring is my favorite! Nice work.

Congratulations, Nate!

Not the Anaconda piece. I was talking about the octagon shaped tag in the upper left on the 2nd picture. Isn't that a rabies vaccine tag? Any date on it.
Thanks Nate.
