Little surprises!

[Msbeepbeep]

The plan was to detect both Sat. & Sun....nope!
Ok, Sunday. Rain is due in at 8 am., i'm out the door by 6. Change of search area also, instead of the sports field i hit the little hill on the side. I spotted mowed trash and thought "coin spills", yep, several. One had 5 nickels & 2 dimes.
Next signal is a solid sounding slightly bouncy "screw cap" reading. The little voice says "you should dig that". I figure "ok, i haven't dug my trash quota yet". From 3" down what looks like the broken edge of a screw cap appears in the dirt pile. I pick it up & turn it over...ring! (surprise!)
Silver with amethyst stone & gold accents. Can't make out the markings inside the band (old or foreign?).
Next is a quarter reading that disappears after a few svoops of dirt. Check all the dirt, nope! Check the only other thing that came out of the hole, a large piece of glass...yep! Surprise! It has wire in it.
Another quarter reading turns up what looks like a green plastic poker chip...its metal...at lest thats what the detector says.
Round thing with stones is snap part maybe.

Rain starts, time to leave. I ask for a final surprise. At the edge of the parking lot, right next to the truck i get another quarter reading....a bullet!!! I was surprised!!!

WHADIFIND's dime on the pin pointer tip, works well!

Hope everyones day is filled with surprises...the good kind!


I hope the pic attachment worked it was a little weird.
Maybe one of you can make out the marks inside the band, i can't figure them out.

The ring is pretty but the hallmarks are cloudy. I really can't make them out. I thought I saw a Playboy Bunny.
Congrats on a good hunt.

Nice finds congrats

I can't make out the markings either. Looks silver though. Wouldn't hurt to take it to a jeweler to find out. Nice digs.

Thank you!
I think i have finally cleared enough of the trash from this place that allows the good stuff to be found.

 

[Msbeepbeep]

Great digs!

Thanks! I love finding rings & jewelry.

Thats right Jeff, no more leaving them for the rest of us
There was just something a little different about the detector readings on last two rings, not quite the normal trash readings...then theres the little voice that insistently tells me to "dig that!" :sly:
Weird thing is, the voice has never been wrong.

Thanks!
Lol your guess is as good any on the hall mark!
I can try to get a better pic on my i-pad then transfer it to my ph.
It has looked to me like an old time large letter "A" or a weird lion....bunny... maybe.

Nice ring. Thank you for sharing and reminding us to pay attention to the funky signals.

The place is very trashy it is hard just finding a clear spot to ground balance.
In the past they used the trash furnance clean out for landfill around here and on top of that is the modern trash; foil, caps, can slaw, etc.
So even if i did air testing it won't read the same as in the ground. There was just a slight difference.

OOOOOOOOOh! Fancy rings rock, congrats MSBB! Sub

What's the dime/pinpointer tip??

I'd like to hear more about this myself. It wasn't from WHADIFIND, but a couple years ago there was a post about attaching a small piece of metal to the pro pointer just past where it would start to beep, and that would increase the depth of detection. I've tried that in the field a couple of times and it did work for added depth. I'd be at a target, get no indication from the pro pointer, and take my digging tool and clasp it to the pro pointer just above the point of indication, and then the PP would sense the target.

I haven't tried that with my new Carrot yet.

Thanks!
It is a pretty one, even has all little stones. The mower found it first, but it only damaged the band.
