Jeff and I decided to drive a bit to Yellow Springs and hit a tot lot by a grade school. We did ok in clad but I decided to hunt the big field next to the school by the old ball diamond.

I got a pocket spill of 3 quarters and a dime. And since Jeff told me his last ring showed as a penny +77 VDI, I started looking for them. On my M6 a +77 is a penny/dime. I dug several more pennies and dimes then found a 1957D wheatie laying on top of the ground by some swings. I never find wheaties but Jeff says all his are on top. So I guess this should have been Jeff's.

First Ring:
Then on the way from the big field I got another +77 hit and dug down three inches. I could see silver immediately. I was sure it was going to be a "real dime." Better yet, it showed up as a nice ladies silver ring with a pale green/yellow stone. It says .925 inside. I hollered at Jeff then I touched my right hand to my right shoulder to let Jeff know I had found a ring. He was well...thrilled! Yeah right.

Next Ring:
We hunted a while more then headed back to the car. It was a beautiful day and while jeff was digging his last hit I decided to try the area betweent the sidewalk and curb. I had always heard this area produced coins. At about 20' in front of my van I got a quarter hit, +85 VDI at 2 inches. What a surprise when I turned over the soil near the road--another ring. A big silver mans ring that just fits my little finger. It is a good 1" wide and 1/2" thick. It says TJ Mex .925 inside.

I called to Jeff and before I could touch my shoulder with my hand he shot me a look of well...ill will is the best way to describe it. [Smiling]

Not skunked by Jeff today. And Tweeter, better catch up...if you can! Heheheh

Nice finds there sore knees. What are you doing down there with all of those hippies ;D That ring looks like something a caveman would wear ;D
 

Congrats on two nice rings!! I've hunted a couple Parks in Yellow Springs and found Mercs!! I like the ladies ring with the stone!! Sweet find!!
 

Jarhead: Only saw one hippie type today as school is out and they may not have Antioch College this year because of funding issues. I heard it might reopen in 2009. What student is going to wait and see if the re-open. Oh yeah this is Antioch, they may not even know a year went by.Yellow Springs is "the town that time forgot."

Need to go back there soon though as my niece got me and my wife a free dinner at the "Winds Cafe" in Yellow Springs for giving her a place to stay while she was going to college in Dayton. Supposed to be really nice restaurant.

Jack the rings are all gone. Stay in IN...hehhehe

Really nice nugget ring. I always wanted one of those.
 

Too bad about Antioch College closing. I guess being a communist and managing money doen't work out so well.

That big honking silver ring doesn't look like anything hippie would wear. WTG nice finds. BTW my wife went to Wright State in Dayton.

I didn't know they were closing. I wonder if Dave chapell will want to hang out there anymore ;D I remember how busy that place was in the 70's. Flower power was alive and well. :tongue3:
