Hit some parks hard this morning - turned into a 6 hour span, got about 150 coins, 1 gold, 3 silver pieces of jewelry, misc pieces of junk jewelry and a $1.00 peso coin.

The left side ring is stamped 10K, tested the stone but no diamond. The lower ear ring as well as the upper one are silver and the right side ring is 925, as seen on it. The big old 10 peso coin was only about 1 inch under chip bark and almost blew my phones off :) Temps were 75 degrees today - perfect for detecting. steve in so az

del - It's not unusual to get a Mexican coin here. Seems like almost every time out I get one or two. Some are not valid anymore - this one dollar one is. Only the bi-metal coins are valid. I save them till I get 8-10 bucks and cash them in and take my wife out to lunch on it. Steve
