    U.S. Navy silver found , ring #55

    Here are my better finds over the last 6 hunts . About 11 hours of digging . The best find came this morning from a school field at 5-6 inches deep . It was a strong +86 on my M6 . I had just been digging a bunch of quarters so I thought it would be another , I was very wrong . It turns out to be a sterling silver U.S. Navy ring happydance02 ! It looks like a class ring . Very worn down . It is number 55 ring for the year !
    The rest of the finds range from Wheats , tokens , foreign coins and some junk jewelery . The Wheats are 1948 , 1951s and 1952d . Also found a Susan B. dollar . Total clad for all hunts is $31.11 !

    Congrats on that ring...it's a beauty I have found a couple of license plates while detecting, but most are pretty rusty. But one 1916 Conn plate is in fairly good shape. They do look good hanging on the wall. That hunt had a lot of cool coins and tokens. Susan B. Anthony dollar Did they actually get used in change lol First SBA one I have seen. thumbsup01
    Finding relics is in my blood
