So a friend and I began exploring an unused area of an older park. The first trip netted almost 60 wheat penny's and 6 silver coins. We had been hunting with heavy discrimination, only digging high end signals. (the area is extremely trashing, TONS of screw caps) We were a bit taken aback by how many wheat penny's there were. Subsequent visits, 4 total for me, and 2 total for my friend yielded 140 wheat's and 15 silver coins, along with the 2 rings shown in the pics on this post. It wasn't until this last solo visit by me that things really started rocking!!! I had still been detecting with discrimination until I found the v-nickel 3 wheat spills. At that point I decided I was going to circle around the hole with no discrimination and dig every signal. (we had discussed doing this in a 10'X 10' area to see what the trash was hiding from us) I'm glad I did, my first signal after was the gold and silver wire ring. 30 minutes later, and maybe a 15'X15' area later I had 4 buffalo nickels 2 war nickels, some junk jewelry, and of course that very nice gold and silver ring!!! I can't wait to go back and start digging everything, though near the end I started to go over a trashy area and was getting a ton of screw caps again. Enjoy the pics.

Dig em' all buddy! Even the screw caps are worth something to the junkyards. The hidden jems can be kept and caps recycled. All metal is worth at least something. I dig almost every repeatable signal. Great finds :icon_thumright:
 

When you go to a new site, there's nothing wrong with having the descriminate up a bit. This way, you get an idea as to what's in the ground. But, once you find some good ones, always turn the disc. down to get the good stuff. You already know what's out there, no go and get it! Good job!
 

Killer finds for sure.................HH
 

Very nice assortment of treasure...looks like you had a good day of digging!
 

Totally cool finds, those streaks are awesome! HH.
