Unexpected Silver and Gold today :)

[Dan(NM)]

I hit a permission house built in the 50's, I didn't expect much, maybe some wheats and a rosie or two. First signal within 5 minutes was a toasted war nickle about 4" down, that's a very good sign!! I hunted for the next 20 minutes and started pulling some wheats, I'm thinking silver for sure baby!! I had just started my second pass when I got a 12-33 on the Etrac, pulltab was what I expected to pull out, my jaw drop when the ring popped out, I knew instantly it was gold!!! Sweet, I would have been more than satisfied right there, but, there was more to come I dug a few more wheats and a bunch of clad when I was making my last pass in the front yard when I got the silver number, 12-46, oh yeah, silver dime on the way. 2" down I flip out a large black disc, the last thing on earth I expected today!!! It just doesn't get much better than that, silver and gold and everything was shallow, deepest coin was maybe 5" I hunted for the next hour and dug the junk jewelry, which was icing on the cake and 3 or 4 wheats and more clad.

Nice finds that class ring is nice.

 

[Dan(NM)]

Thank you B.O.T.B. I joined the Lynn English class of 1968 Facebook page and posted a comment about finding the ring. A gal who's in charge of an upcoming class reunion is going to look at her annual and try and help track down the owner.

Nice finds that class ring is nice.[/QUOTE

I found out who the owner was, I talked to a couple of ladies on the Lynn English HS class of 1968 facebook page. Looks like he's no longer alive......

Gary Lee Mitchell, age 59, of Lynn, died Tuesday, May 5, 2009, in Union Hospital, after a brief illness. ....................

I believe I found his wife on facebook and left a PM for her telling her my story about the ring. I hope I get to talk to her and find out how his ring ended up here. I will post an update if I get more info. Looks like Gary and I had a few things common, love of coins and the outdoors.
