    After Work Hunts @ 1898 House

    I had gotten permission Monday evening from the very nice homeowner to detect her property. She had asked me that if I found a gold ring with a ruby in it that that was her mothers and would I return it. Of course I would, isn't that what we do? So Monday night no ring but I managed 2 wheats and Canadian penny. Tuesday night Rob was off of lockdown so I took him there and we both scoured the area for the ring. Still no ring but I managed a 1935 S merc and 3 more wheats. The wheats are dated 40,44,57d,48,36 and the Canadian is a 1933. Rob got himself a couple of wheats but no silver. Next time, your turn Rob.

    Thanks for reading and keep digging

    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 give off a lesser signal. Good luck if you return, Steve in so az
