Vintage sterling ring

[McCDig]

Got out this AM to a park in Baltimore. Rain helped loosen the soil and it was possible to dig intact thick plugs. Coin total came to $6.12 with 10 cents of that in wheats, the oldest being 1911. Dug one silver quarter,

a 1960 Washington,

a stainless steel letter 'P' pendant,

a 2-piece fashion button,
and the very last hole gave up a very deep sterling ring, mangled by the bulldozer, and missing its stone.​

10 wheats and some Silver is a good day out to me. Congrats on some nice finds.

 

[Whyme]

Nice finds! That ring is pretty cool. Congrats!

 

[McCDig]

Thanks vpnavy. Do you have any info to share on York Co. Rec and Parks metal detecting permit? I looked at the website but the form seems more geared for facility rentals that for detecting per se.

 

[McCDig]

Thanks RVRoamer66. Yes, the wheats started to add up after awhile. I have done well with silver at this site. All of the ones I've dug have been 20th century but a buddy dug a half dime there this year.

 

[McCDig]

Thanks Whyme. I was excited to see silver jewelry at the bottom of a 9-inch hole. Must have been stunning intact. I'm guessing Victorian era.

Thanks Inspector. The quarter is in good shape. Most of the items I fond were dropped after 1960. If I get my F75 audio repaired I will comeback with that someday and the NEL Tornado coil to see if deeper targets can be heard. Until then, the Equinox stock coil is doing pretty well.

 

[McCDig]

Thanks Tommy. You still movin' to Baltimore?

 

[McCDig]

Thanks Possum! It was a particularly productive hunt and I can't argue with silver.

Some excellent saves. Congrats

 

[McCDig]

Thanks Hawks88. I started out gridding a particular area and stuck with that for a couple hours, but then resorted to hitting a couple other areas, just listening for deeper high tones. Much of the area still needs to be cleared out of modern coins - pennies and dimes.

Very nice finds all around. You kill it in Baltimore. Well done and Go Hawks!

 

[McCDig]

Thanks Washingtonian. Earl Thomas is coming home......enjoy the game.

That’s a good looking ring!

 

[McCDig]

Thanks Locke. I will have a jeweler look at it to give an age estimate.
