Hey all.? Had a very disappointing week of MD'ing last week.? Decided that if I was ever going to get something better than a bagfull of clad I'd have to change up my routine.? Set my sights on finding a really old coin and so started hitting sites that I thought would be likely.? My hat's off to all you guys that have the patience to spend hours at sites that produce old coins with little excitement between finds!? I was doing my usual routine of about 2 hours after work per day with no results except the old lock and key in first pic.? Lots of old metallic junk but nothing worth bagging.? Then on Friday, with my TH wits at their frazzled end, I decided to wave the MD around the apartment complex I'd been working at all week and hit all the rest of these goodies in less than 30 minutes.? I can't believe how just when I think I probably ought to quit wasting so much of my free time on MD'ing, something like this happens and I'm hooked all over again. 
? The rings both came from the same hole at about 1 1/2" and I'm still shaking over that find.? These are by far my best finds to date.? Seem to be a man's and ladies' ring buried together (Love to know that story)!? The mens ring has 20 little diamonds and the blue stone, and the ladies ring has 10 little diamonds and the red stone.? I've got to get them to a jeweler to look them over as I have no idea what they are or if they're real.? There are markings inside of them but I can't make them out.? The charm bracelet is 925 silver and was right on top.? The Crucifix and what I think is a pentagram were from under two trees about 8 feet apart (talk about your war of good and evil)!? The coin is a mardi-gras souvenir from Universal Studios Florida and was good for an adrenaline punch when I first saw the reeded edge of the coin (This is the same place I dug my 1923 Peace dollar).? Hope all of you are bagging a bunch of good stuff too! ~CO2
