So I hit the same spot where I got my first SLQ and my first TWO mercury dimes the other day. Targets were fewer and much deeper. Found two tax tokens, a neat looking old (what I believe to be) grommet, another mercury dime, two wheats, a nickel silver ID bracelet and two rings. When I arrived at the location, I couldn't help but think about what Joe (OBN) said on my last post something to the effect of, "when I find old silver like that I usually find old gold". So when this small, old 10K ring with a tiny ruby popped out.....I actually said out loud, "you were right Joe amazing!" Each of these targets were in excess of 10" and I kid you not, that little gold ring was 18"-20" deep when I finally got it in my scoop. What is weird about the coins is that the two wheats and the merc were all three 1944 S.... Unfortunately the merc took a nasty scrape across her face. The pretty little ring with the light blue stone had a hallmark of a U with an arrow going thru it which I believe is the Uncas Jewelry Company and had no other indicators of metal content. Anyhow, I had a super time digging around this place that nobody has touched in a very long time.
Take care everyone and happy hunting!

nice stuff....the terms nickel silver and gold filled make me wonder back in the day did they think they were getting real silver and gold? did they pay top dollar? the terms are just so misleading. but great finds and keep hittin it
 

Nice old bits you're finding!
 

Can you post a close-up of just the ring with the stone? Like to examine it further...
 

Great finds, and Congrats on the Gold and Silver! :occasion14:
 

Congratulations on the Old Gold and the other nice finds!
