    8 minute hunt yields silver ring

    Today after I ate lunch I had eight minutes before I had to leave to go back to work so I grabbed my f2 and started hunting around my camper. My first hit turned out to be an old screw cap. A foot away I got a solid hit that rang up as an 82/83 so I thought I was digging up a quarter but it turned out to be a silver ring


    I guess it pays to get out anytime you can

    You are in a prime area for great finds like that. I suspect you are just copying me now I got my first ring! LOL But really, rings are not common finds-WTG!
