Got out with Moose yesterday
I was able to get out with Moose for a few hours yesterday. Our hunt was interrupted by a hail storm but after it blew over we were able to continue.
All of these finds were in private yards in a river town so the soil is very sandy and the oldest coins and relics quickly sink below the detector's range, but we found a few keepers anyway. My favorites were the large skeleton key and the old silver ring.
Both of the silver coins were from the same yard.

The relics include the large skeleton key, an old lighter case, two Illinois tax tokens and a huge 50 caliber slug. One wonders how that came to be in someone's yard.

I love this old silver ring. The designs on it are very odd. It looks like two serpents with apples in their mouths? Does anyone know the significance of these symbols?
