Metal Detecting
Briefly detected a huge farm field that sits between two late 18th century homes. Headed to the highest part of the field nearest to where I parked. Hit two flat buttons then my first ever milled bust real. Its pretty wiped but looks to be a 1781? 1 real. Back is slick. Still looking for my first Spanish with a nice clear date:BangHead: Also got an interesting ring that looks to be silver mens wedding band. Not marked so if its legit its probably very old

That is a pretty good start to a detecting day. Nicely done!
 

I told you they were there on the Eastern Shore of Maryland :thumbsup:
 

Awesome finds! Wiped or not, it's a real and it is a beauty. Also loving that ring, it is old and I'm a sucker for old AND silver. Congrats on a very successful hunt...Ddf

Thanks. A milled bust real was the one thing I had not found that I really wanted to knock of the list. Ive found a bunch of copper/brass wedding bands on old sites but never a silver one.

In my experience, If I hit a nice keeper in a new field straight away, then there is likely more
 

Yea man love that Spanish silver n that ring! I'll be out there quite a bit coming up as I see they have cleared a few of my permissions and new ones getting cleared every day now. Are the beans coming off yet?

This was corn. Most bean fields still got a few weeks until harvest
 

Worn or not, that is a very nice find. Congrats on your first!

If that was a wedding ring, I'll bet he was in real trouble when he got home.

Super nice coin and ring.

Im thinking this ring might be nearly as early as the real and if so way more special than the coin.
 

Found what looks like a little silver spoon handle tonight. This site has hardly any signals or iron for that matter but have pulled three pieces of old silver and just a few buttons. Thats it. Weird
