More Gold and Silver From The Old Gravel Lot!

[oldmxrat]

Amazingly, I was able to pull another gold class ring and six more silvers from the gravel yesterday! Even more amazing was that the gold ring was my first target and within 5 minutes after getting there.

That was pretty early in the morning and barely light yet so the pic quality isn't too good.

Also found were a cool old 925 ring, a '43 qtr, a '61 qtr, a '37 merc, a '48 roosie, a '63 roosie and a strange little charm with the loop broken off.

The class ring is 10k of course, and is from Righetti High School, Santa Maria, CA class of 1966, and has mother of pearl in the setting. There aren't any initials or a name inside.

I guess I'm still not done with this place. I'm kinda worried somebody has seen me hunting there and may give it a try themselves, even though I've tried to not look like I'm detecting when cars go by. Oh well, I've pulled an amazing amount of treasure from there already so no need to be greedy.

Wow ... what a fantastic site - congrats on all the great finds !
What's the total amount of Silver coins that you found in the parking lot since the first hunt ?

What a hunt! Way to go oldmxrat! Pretty great that your first signal was the class ring. Bet you thought about calling it a day and going back to bed.

Your little pendant looks like a Hopi indian doll.

Great finds. That spot has been very good to you, so I don't blame you for wanting to keep it undiscovered.

Digging in gravel must be difficult...how hard packed is it?

It's not packed at all anymore as it hasn't been driven on in many years, just lots of rocks.

Well done on the gold class ring and the latest silver haul.
The parking lot has really treated you well so far.

I would imagine that all the Vegas area people that follow this site are trying desperately to figure out where this is. Thing is, it's almost invisible now.

Great finds. I wonder how many traveled past that lot carrying their detectors and never considered it worth the time to check it out?

I guess the surrounding desert has it's secrets.
