Hi all,
Drove about an hour and a half to get to a promising old swimming hole. Well, didn't turn out as hoped, but I did find a little clad and a sterling ring.
Several hours later I started on my way back. Made a few stops at a couple parks and got skunked there too, with only 2 later wheats. So then I decided to go back to the little park where I got the IHs and Barber.
It started very slow. I tried the big coil for about an hour but it just hit so much trash I couldn't pick put the coins. Switched back to the 11" coil and finally got some better though iffy signals. First coin I pulled was another Barber dime, this time a 1903! I also managed 3 more wheats, 1910, 1911, and 1919D.
The bonus for the day was my first ever clay marble! Pretty cool I think. :)
Thanks for reading, and happy hunting!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171017/4fe390f310c31120ca5eb4e355128cac.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171017/a29d4a330b0533c13cd470c4c20e920c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171017/5e32924edb939ccc5e0bb2882cfd518a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171017/ad9ac9b014b3b74b57c474e6633b40c9.jpg

I love that silver ring! Very nice design and it looks old. Are you going to try to clean it any further?

Congrats on the clay marble. That is cool! :clapping:

Once I get to work tomorrow I'll try the baking soda/foil cleaning and see if that will shine it up. If not, the eraser polishing will buff it out pretty good. I'll have it looking good soon and post the results.
