I was able to get a little hunting in between the rain drops today. I went to a local zoo/park where some silver and wheaties had been found in the past. I wanted to see what I had missed with the E-trac and get some more time in on the CTX. They had just aerated the grass and the ground was littered with hundreds of mud turds since it had been sprinkling all morning. Every few feet required scraping a couple of inches of mud off my boots, so it was a muddy freaking mess. I just had hit a clad spill, a couple of pennies and a dime when my buddy called me to see how things were going. As I was talking to him, I scanned the ground where the spill was and got a 12/47 12/48 reading on the CTX, I figured it was a clad quarter from the spill. After I hung up from the call, I cut a shallow plug and low and behold, a silver ring falls outta the plug. I couldn't believe it, it was the last thing I expected. I figured after 2 hours of stopping around in the mud hole of a park it was time to leave. It's a size 10 weighing in at 7 grams. My first ring was a religious type that rang at 12/38 12/39 at 6" down at an old high school. I was running Minelab's stock high trash mode with combined tones and high trash recovery, auto sens +3
