Hi folks!
I continue exploring the old park in Toronto area where I found the virgin spot in September. I go now every direction from that spot. The North East direction is the most promising so far. Yesterday, after work, I spent a couple hours and found these 3 silver finds. The coin is 1892 5 cents Canada - semi key date coin with less than 1 million mintage -860,000. I didn't have this coin in my collection so I am happy finding it. The modern ring ( 4.1 gram) has strange hallmarks . It looks Hebrew or Tibetan letters to me . The last find is a smal initial ring without any hallmarks but I am sure it is silver with less than 925 clarity. I filed it a bit and it is all white inside. I think that letter V stands for Victoria and the ring itself is from that epoch. It was a deep target that is why it was dug out. Thank you for comments in advance. Cheers!

PS. Hey folks ! I am writing this additional info regarding my finds two days after I made this post. I just came back from the local coin shop. They checked the small ring in the scanner. The verdict was - gold (18%), copper 75(%), the rest were other metals. That means it is the gold filled ring. Well...finding it at dusk and taking pictures under the light made me misfire. At least I found this cool relic of Victorian time which is also a great find and.....a good lesson for me at the same time.
