Good eyeballin Carl ! One time I waded through a bunch of rings I have on 2 ropes and found a 10K one that looked like brass. steve in so az

Z - That sure is a nice ring - too bad it doesn't fit. And a great haul for the weekend. As to silver vs gold = I have been finding quite a few more gold than silver this past 3-4 years (although I'm...

When I started detecting 31 years ago my detector was a Whites 5000 D also. What a difference from my current machine ! steve in so az

I hang on to a lot of stuff also. Here's a few displays.

p52 - that's a great thing you do with it. I give mine to the Gospel Rescue Mission - similar, Steve in so az

If you are looking for gold jewelry - go where they wear it the most. And this is not the rich people's area. Steve in so az

Hey - it got you excited and that's 1/2 the reward :) Good going on the silver & nick, steve in so az

A great pic of finds - that's what we all want. The ruby ring is probably thin from being a woman's ring and maybe worn down. I remember seeing my grandmother's & it was such. At any rate, it will...

That's sure a nice one Bob. Silver waves, steve in so az

JT - Do the tot lots in your area. It's out there - I'm up to 24 solid gold this year so far, Steve

Not that cold ! We wont get frost for another 2 months and little at that. Steve

Got out early, had to put a second shirt on but warmed up after a while. Dug 69 coins, dollar coin, gold rings and a peace ring. And 9 nickels.

Good haul for the week. The German stamp probably refers to German Silver - no silver content but it is hard to tell it from silver when cleaned. Steve in so az

Al - Neat find. Check out this site, steve in so az

Very rewarding for your efforts !! Steve in so az

Yeah,the old looking key will be a nice addition to my old key display. Steve

Here's the silver ring with maybe...

AHhh, the joy of hunting alone :)
When I am with someone I ask what area do you want & I take the other. If they are not as experienced as you then you will be able to go over their choice later &...

Hit some parks this morn - the heat & humidity got to me about 4 hours later but I had 100 coins by then. Got 3 rings, an allen wrench tool & misc junk jewelry.

Au contraire tana - Get a bottle of this and test all silver. Put a small drop on the suspected silver , let it dry & try to wash it off. Silver won't let it wash off. Most jewelers use this for...

What a great bunch of finds ! It sure will give you a good night's sleep. steve in so az

Trouble is the gold & silver stamp tools are not expensive and are easy to use. Good luck on this one, Steve in so az

Living just 70 miles from mexico I have dug a lot of bogus gold. But they have never had MEX or Mexico stamped on them. Hope your guy can give a good test for you ! Steve in so az

I have discovered the same thing on trips away. i think I'll be getting tons of coins & such but get very little. Always glad to get home to the places I know. Steve in os az

Bob - I keep my relics, sell tokens & most jewelry. As for clad I tumble & roll in coin rolls about every 4 weeks & send a check to the Gospel Rescue Mission for the homeless. My CW relics I love but...
