Sunday's keepers

[McCDig]

Got in 3 hours at the park this afternoon and dug several keepers. A high 30s signal on the Equinox, just one-way, was a puzzler but out came this ring that really cleaned up nice. I think the maker's mark is Uncas, if so, this can be no earlier than 1911. No precious metal here and the 'stone' is glass but it has some fancy detailing.

In that same area I got a 1936 wheat,
and then, in a different spot, a hole produced not only this 1879 IHC,

but a second signal turned out to be a 'toasty' 1884 V-nickel. You can barely see Liberty's outline.

Thanks washingtonian! I agree, something different makes the hunt more interesting. At times, though, I'm find with just pulling a big handful of clad, so I can fill up the container.

Thanks The Rebel! Two things - I was most excited about seeing that green Indian and then finding there was another target in the same hole.

I like that ring, just my opinion but I think it could be from 1911-1920 it has that Art Nouveau look to it.
Great find

That’s a great looking ring. I hit two 1944 and one very toasty 1936 Wheaty yesterday. Good job.

You keep squeezing out some oldies from your old Baltimore,very nice job and real real persistence .There is is an old, large NYC like yours,years ago I was up to 14 silver a hunt,numerous IH's.I got my Trimene here 3 2 centers.You would find more than a dozen guys hunting at given day.Now the last few years things have really slowed down big time,now it's a few wheaties,an IH and V. here and there.For me it's close to a 90 minute haul here,but I still make it every month or 2 because I know there is a chance for reale or old button and last hunt there I was able to pull an 1882 seated dime 'my first out of here in over 2 years.So good luck in hitting those old pounded city parks,you just never know what could pop up!

Thanks LITom! That sounds like my kind of park there in NYC. Go back today for several hours and not much but I did score a good looking 1902 IHC; it was about 4 inches below a 5-inch deep square nail(iron). Sounded good enough to dig.

Thanks Kona Koma! Keep swingin' and pulling those old wheats.

Thanks highnam! Appreciate the id on the ring. Your analysis is 'spot-on'.

Thanks Tommy! Would you believe #19 IHC for the month from that park? Dug it this AM.
