Instead of the fairgrounds again today, i decided to give the park where i grew up a try with the V3i. This is the park that was used as a skating rink in the winter when i was a kid.
As i arrived i could see that the soccer people have got their goal nets out and have the lines sprayed onto the grass. So i tried not to dig where their lines were.
I found over a couple bucks in clad. Including a Judy penny and two wheats. 1953-D and 1955.
So like everyone says where there's wheats, there's silver
And over by the concrete basketball court i hit a signal that said FIFTY cents at 2 1/2.
Well, i was sure it wasn't a half dollar but i dug anyway.

And found a nice sterling silver ring!!!!! It has two blue stones that may be turquoise.
One stone has a corner chipped off it. Inside says TE-(unreadable number) other side says Mexico 925. It's 8.3 grams of silver.
So it made my day!
