Silver Ring, Wheat and clad

[pescadore]

Waited for the snow to somewhat melt today and got out for a while with the MXT. I was using the Detech 6X8 SEF coil and it is really a good coil for coinshooting. I had to look hard for a place that wasn't just completely flooded from the melting snow but found some high ground at the local Middle School and decided to hunt there. I parked in front of the school and my first target was a small .925 ring and so I was off to a good start. The weirdest thing about today's hunt was the ring was the only quarter signal I got. I dug 4 dimes, 5 nickels, and 11 pennies with one of them being a 1940 Wheat. All in all I was just happy to get out in the mud and play. I guess at 61, I still have a little kid in me.

Middle schools have served up many silver rings for me, happy hunting and great ring. Sub

Nice finds! It's weird I find more quarters at elementary schools than Jr highs. Maybe more lunch money lost at elementary schools.
My m6 also reads silver rings as quarter or dime depending on size.
