I went to an old church picnic ground that a friend of mine bought a few years ago when the church closed. It is used for pee wee football and other events. I’m not sure how long it has been in use, but it was part of a farm originally and I have found flat buttons, round balls and a large cent here. Today I didn’t find anything for the old farm, but I did manage to get 38 coins with a face value of $2.80 that included 3 wheaties (1941, 1945, 1951D) and a 1951 Rosie dime. Along with the coins I found a class ring, some screw in cleats (only one pictured) an odd brass button (not very old) a bullet and the copper jacket from a bullet, and a hat pin with an eagle on it.
The class ring is a 1984 ring from a high school about ten miles away in the next state. It is an Artcarver Siladium ring. Siladium is their alloy of stainless steel used in rings. It rang up as a mid tone and I thought I had another tab.
I was trying to clean house because I have pulled some silver dimes from as deep as 14”. So I was digging all the mid and high tones, the iffy signals and the weak signals to be sure I didn’t miss any goodies. As you can see that gave me a lot of aluminum rings with the funny tails on them 😆.
Another good day swingin the CZ21 with a little silver and another class ring to try and return. I am working on returns for 2 already with not much luck from the schools and no luck searching for them on line. But I don’t quit until I have exhausted all possibilities. I’ll give the school a call next week and see if I can get a name for this one. I have the first name on the side of the ring and initials inside so identifying the owner should be a slam dunk. Locating her 35 years after graduation with the possibility of a name change or 2 over the years is the hard part. Wish me luck on the return.
Thanks for looking and may your coil lead you to good things.
