My new year started May 1 and this is my first post of my year. My first hunt was on campus clearing off part of the sidelines on one of the fields. I found 57 coins with a face value of $1.65, a 1958D wheatie, another cash game tab, a fishing sinker, the top to an old bottle that came out of a hole with some can slaw, a cheapie stud earring and an aluminum religious medal. The top of the bottle has an applied lip that was added after the bottle was shaped so it was probably made in the 1800’s or before.
Yesterday I went back to the old high school. There is a field I have been working that has yielded silver coins, gold rings and civil war bullets along with a decent amount of clad (and can tabs). They haven’t mowed it yet so the grass is getting tall and swingin the detect is like pushing through a couple inches of snow. I like to keep the coil as close to the dirt as I can so I get those faint deep targets. I was uncertain how well I would do in the tall grass so I didn’t grid, but just wandered around in parts I have not gridded and I managed better thanks thought I would.
I found 44 coins with a face value of $2.47, half of an old toy pistol, a compact lid, a brass set screw, half a key, a silver ring, a mashed kiddie ring, half of another cheapy kiddie ring, the cap to a brass musical instrument valve and a 1957 wheatie.
The ring was a nice clear high tone at about 3 inches down. I recognized it as a Williamsburg piece of jewelry. We spent our honeymoon at Williamsburg and have visit a number of times over the 49 years we have been married. I have purchased a ring just like this one in gold and silver for my wife. It is known as a scroll ring and is marked STERLING. They currently sell new online for $45.
So I have my first silver of the new year, a little gas money, exercise in the fresh air and the ground is a little cleaner after all the tabs, can slaw and other metal has been removed from a few small sections. Thanks for looking, stay safe and may your coil lead you to good things.
