My son CJ had a double header baseball game yesterday with a 2 hour break in between games. Knowing that, I took along the ET. After the first game ended I headed to a near-by park that I've lightly hit a few times in the past. This park has given up a few wheats and a little silver ring in the past. The first good target was a wheat. Shortly after that I got a mixed signal that was mixed between a pull tab and the sweet sound of a quarter. Some times can slaw will sound like this. NOT THIS TIME! Digging down and while pulling the dirt out of the hole I got a glimpse of silver! I was stunned to see a 1893 Barber quarter come out of the ground!! <: This is my first ever 1800's Barber coin! <: And only my second Barber quarter. So that was even a little sweeter lol Checking the hole I also pulled out the ring part off of a pull tab. That explains the low tone! thumbsup01 Thursday while hunting with Jkress, another local detectorist and forum member skribnod, told me he had found a few gold rings with his E-Trac and said Co.06 is 10k gold for him on his ET. So after finding the barber quarter I get a solid 09-06 @ about 3 or 4 inches. After digging so many foil signals in the past I walked two steps past it and said to myself You'll never know if you don't dig it up. \ So I went back and found the signal again and dug down and to my surprise.........A GOLD RING!! It's a small 10k ring marked 417.
417=41.7% pure gold which is 10k. ( I had to look that one up lol )
I was able to find one more wheatie before I had to get heading back for game two of the double header. Thats got to be the best intermission I've ever had! lol
Thanks for lookin' & HH everyone
