Tried a split hunt today

[WHADIFIND]

Most of you already know that my coil can be a clad magnet sometimes.
But, sometimes, one just has to take off the kid gloves and get down to
business. I did that today, for about 1.5 hours. (I just couldn't stand all
the extra digging in that sun today!! )

This is the net results of that hour & a half's *work*!



As you can see, it was a "different" kind of a hunt!
I knew this place has been hit for years! But, there are a LOT
of signals there! Trash!
Sometimes, one gets a reward for all that work. Not this time.


It isn't all bad though. Once I got completely tired I turned for the car,
which was over 400 yards away, and said, OK, "on the way back to the car",
I'll do a more easy/normal type of searching and wind down. It took me
ANOTHER 1.5 hours or so to get back to the car!! LOL





That little strip with the "Fishies" on it?
Stamped .925!



Soooo, after all that trash removal, earlier, and just trying to
add to the battery fund, I get this:




What's more, after I turned it around this happened.....again!!!




So, I need to rethink the dig it all theory again! LOL

But, there was trouble in the homestead. A friend
of Fishy's came over, he wasn't in too good a mood.
(crabby, ya know?)

But, he decided that it was going to be HIM who kept this
Shiny shiny. Blingie had other ideas!





Boy! I knew Blingie was possessive but....WOW!!



You can see why he might would want this one.


All in all, a wonderful outing !
I am POOPED!!

Thanks for stopping by!!

outstanding!!! But I, along with a lot of us...would kill to have found the pirate skull dude.... that's awesome!

 

[Loco-Digger]

Love the pirate!!! You are correct, I dig it all, so when I come back another time, I might pull what was once masked. You ought to be on the pay roll for cleaning the property of trash.

I need that pirate to go with the silver ring I found a couple months ago....
Great looking ring.

 

[Old Dude]

So is that ring plated? Good hunt!

 

[Professor of Engineering]

Very nice finds!

My philosophy is to dig everything when relic hunting... works for me.

Actually, no it's not plated. It is marked as .925 and it looks like it's been in the ground for quite a while. The
ground there has a strange mottling effect on silver. Not sure why.

I can understand that in relic hunting. But, on a school ground? In order to
dig every single beep, I might as well hire a backhoe and a screen.

 

[Trezurehunter]

Nice Pirate Skull. I am with you, I dig it all & keep revisiting places. The good stuff is bound to show up when the junk is gone.

BOY FISHY CANT FIGURE OUT HOW HIS MATES GOT ON THAT BRACELET AND BLINGIE HAS TAKEN ON A MILITARY ROLE AND IS KEEPING AN EYE ON THE MONSTER CRAB WITH THE SHINY THING. NICE FINDS FOR SURE ...

 

[Msbeepbeep]

Leave it to Blingie to bring out the big guns when his shiny shiny on the line! Whoa!
You got to love those trips back to the car, even if it does take "a while" to get there. Lol! I know how that goes
Very nice finds there sir! Congrats! And did you test the stone yet?

I didn't make it out today, bummer. Glad to see you did and scored big!
I hope this works it's from my ph....if the screen size gets any smaller I will need a tooth pick to text with !

Looks like your phone is doing it's job. Message got through perfectly!

Thanks!

I did test these stones right away, really didn't think they were real though. Not because they don't put real diamonds in silver, because they do indeed! But because this was the BIGGEST, clearest stone I've ever found and it was in .925 silver!

I don't trust my own testing but it didn't even hint at any of the three stones as real.

BUT.....there is good news as well!

Remember this piece?



Found it in this thread: http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/today-s-finds/470187-did-some-shadow-hopping-today.html

Well, as a lark, I took it along to test with the ring. The diamonds are real in it! LOL I swear, they look really bad under magnification, but they're real! Probably worth two cents apiece but still! LOL
And I have you to thank for finding out! If you hadn't hinted they might still be real, I wouldn't have tested!

Thank you, milady!

 

[Msbeepbeep]

That is awesome glad to hear it!
I was quite shocked the first time I found diamonds in my silver ring.
And You are more than welcome sir!
These stones in rings keep getting bigger! Lol ! One if these days we will hit the mother load!

"Love it when a plan comes together!"

 

[wv hilljack]

Wow! That ring ought to stack a few batteries in the reserve. It's amazing isn't all that can slaw out there. They should of stuck to plastic and glass bottles. LOL

 

[weasel606]

I'd be pooped to ! Awesome finds
