Detector(s) used
DFX
Well i finally pulled the dfx out after being busy with work for 3 months...I hit a local park that i have detected numerous times.I almost forgot how to run this hi-teck machine so just put it on coin & jewelry mode and started digging everything. It paid off, about 10 pull tabs later i dug a 14K religious pendant and chain! Then maybe 10 yards away i dug the gold ring with the panda coin, it reads 1945 dos pesos on the back.I havent done much research on it, so feel free to fill me in..I also dug 2 fake rings, 3 pendants,a few bullets empties, a bracelet, and a dog tag...oh yea and a bucket full of trash!! but had a blast digging every piece..this was all in 3 hunts about an hour each. Thanks for looking!! ;D

That's awesome Justin! :) Taking 3 months off seems to have helped...that digging everything really does work...if we go hunting all the time sometimes we get lazy.

HH!

Some info on the Panda Coin

http://www.taxfreegold.co.uk/mexico2pesos.html

The Mexican gold 2 pesos used to be a very popular small bullion coin before fractional Krugerrands were introduced in 1980. Apart from investors and collectors, we used to sell large quantities to jewellery manufacturers for use in jewellery, particularly ear-rings, where their small size (12.85 mms), and low weight (1.66 grams) made them ideal.
Dated from 1919 to 1947, the 1945 date is the easiest to find. We believe these are still officially restruck using this date.
Krause shows a substantial quantity of 1948 as having been minted, but it is likely that these were never issued, or used an earlier date.
