Well the next day we wound up at an old train depot it had about a 30ft wide by 150ft long grass area on four corners in the town...we fan out over the area and about 1/2 hour later near a water fountain and bench I got an 88 VDi on my XLT usually means a quarter 1in. down took the lesche digger and pulled the plug over... there looking right at me is a standing liberty quarter, turned out to be a 1929-S, 1 foot away was a mercury dime, I figured id dig every signal got a 17 VDI 1in. dug out a buffalo nickle, then another, got a 79 VDI dime signal, out pops 2 silver dimes, got a 17 VDI again... thought to myself cool another buffalo... boy was I wrong out pops a ring I can see it has a diamond I quickly put it in my pocket, then got 2 more nickles all no more than 1 in. down... detected another 2 hours only clad. this is one of the best rings I ever found its an 8 diamond wedding setstsmped 14k. I dont think the coins were in that spot more than 5-10 years the nickles only just started to get corroded...I could be wrong but every single buffallo, V, shield nickle I've found before were brown or black and theses are in awsome shape still look mostly there silver color and light discoloration.. jd
