With my new Garrett Pro Pointer at my side I went back to the soccer field I found a gold band in two days ago and picked up a sterling silver ring today. My first silver ring. I only had to pull 30-40 pop tops to find it today! Also a few bucks in clad more rifle casings ??? It's a city park ??? and some keys. It's a very old park and I think if I bump up the depth of my searches I should be able to pop some early 1900's coins, but I'm a little worried about digging big plugs in a city park. Right now I'm just making slits and going to a max depth of 5". So far no one has said anything, I just don't want to hose city hunting for anyone else.

Congrats on your silver ring ! You should find out what the law says about city parks in your area . It might be ok to dig as long as it is a very clean plug and not too deep ! Good luck

Nice score!
You have the right idea. Go with your guts. You will know when and where to cut a deep plug. If it doesn't feel right--don't do it. You don't want too much attention. That is the nice thing with the Propointer, you can cut slits.
 

Sweet hunt. Congratulation!
