Thread: Big Silver ring !

  1. #1

    Big Silver ring !

    Another 3+1/2 hrs. at the same sportsfield . The weather was nice .No silver coins today but four wheats and a bit of modern money that together totaled $3.30 .
    The ring was about 7" deep . Its signal was similar to the Walker I got on the last hunt only a bit more definite .The ring looks like it's had a hard life but a nice trophy nevertheless .
    Thanks for looking and Happy Hunting !

    Thanks Drew , I'm enjoying the heck out of it . Hopefully , I get a bit more silver out of there before its zippered up . I'm hoping luck smiles on me and I find one of my many bucket list coins .

    Thanks Timmy , it's my largest silver ring yet .That spot was kind enough to give me three nice silver rings . Sadly , it's now all smoothed out , closed up and ready for the grass to be planted .I'll be taking the Nox to my old spots and seeing what I can pull out of them .
