Seated Liberty

[rwsnc]

Found the Seated Liberty today and the 2 Mercs yesterday at an old boys camp founded in 1896. I spent many many hours hunting this place back in the 80s and had an opportunity to go back and pick up some of the silver that I left. This place is a dream. No pulltabs, no bottle caps and rich black dirt, easy to dig. What a dream site.

I'll be headed home tomorrow but hunted one last time. Today's finds included a SS ring (stone missing), 1944 Washington quarter and a 1904 Barber quarter. Sure am going to miss that place.

But very nice finds!

Sweet finds Bob

There`s got to be a Barber around here some where.
Can`t wait to find one.

I know you had fun

Did you catch any fish while you were there?

Bill.. Ended up not fishing at all. Funny. I brought 3 fly rods, my fly tying gear, waders, boots, extra tippet and leaders, etc. PLUS I brought my golf clubs. This turned out to be a metal detecting adventure. This would be a great place to camp out next year about this time. It's about to close down for the year. The kids all left last week.

Nice finds & sounds like a real nice spot..Your ring looks to be a pill ring used to hold a tablet of medicine ..but the hinged top is gone. HHing..

Thanks for the input. I was wondering what it was. I just didn't look like a stone sat there. Wish I could have found the missing part. It looks old. I wonder if it was a poison pill ring... like this one http://cgi.ebay.com/Sterling-Silver-Poison-Pill-Red-Stone-Ring-SZ-6-/120595383075?pt=Gemstone_Rings.
