    Silver on the end of my Leshe ! Ring #22

    Got out twice this weekend with my Son and Ryan . Not much found but a lot of clad . Some Foreign coins , S.B . Anthony dollar , 1940 nickel , two 1959 pennies , 12 game tokens and some junk jewelery . The one good thing I did find was on the end of my Leshe digger ! I had a faint target at 7 inches , +68 , +72 . I thought maybe a deep wheat penny . When I got down to the bottom of the hole , no target ? I probed around and nothing was there . I picked up my Leshe to start digging again when I saw it . It was a tiny sterling silver ring stuck on the tip of the digger . It's ring #22 for the year , not much but I'll take any silver or gold ! Total clad for about 6 hours of hunting was $21.62 . Always check the end of your shovel

    You should have been a surgeon Nice stab Susan B.... the Edsel of coins That coin was doomed to begin with because of it's shape. Careful trying to cash that one in, they may offer you 25 cents for it. Nice little surprise with the ring and a real nice clad count.

    I always cash my Susan B's at Mc Donalds . They always say you only gave me a quarter . I gal would believe me that it was a dollar coin . She said she would take it just this once . . Got to love it when someone is taking money and has no clue

    Awesome finds! I bet that big peso had you going!

    And how the heck do you always dig so much clad? I mean, I did a $20 plus clad hunt once or twice. And I was so tuckered out I was about brain dead.

    And haha, I do the "shovel sticker" trick a lot. What threw me for a loop once was when I had a mercury dime stuck on the BACK on my shovel.

    Finding an area around here with clad that concentrated is a bit tough. I'm glad you're able to rake in so much. I guess when it comes to clad the more populated the area the better. lol. Keep digging it. And when your knees wear out just use your clad to buy new ones.

    And also, just curious what your best clad day is? It HAS to be an insane amount that makes me go

    Best ever day for clad was a two hour hunt at a school that is now off limits due to the city it is in , no digging aloud ! That total was $38.98 !
