I made a day of it today. Moving to a new area, I tried to clean up all the clad with the Vaquero so that there won't be so many distractions when I come through slow looking for the deepies. I found a big handful of clad ranging from surface to 5" down. Found 1-1945 Merc and 1-1936 wheat both about 7" down and a real nice Sterling silver ring with what looks to be an Opal whether it real or not I don't know. All and all a decent day better than sitting at a desk all day. Also found a piece of lead almost the exact size of a Nickel with a nice thick creamy patina. I have no Idea what it could be, it was down about 12" under a coin I dug.

The opal looks like it's actually mother of pearl shell. It's a beautiful ring. Nice find!
 

Excellent array of finds! :) Looks like your deep search has some potential.
