This afternoon I headed out to detect at two local parks, splitting my available time between them. They are not too far apart, so it worked out well. The first one yielded a few interesting items in addition to two silver coins, a 1935 Washington quarter and a 1916 Barber dime.
I dug this compact from the first park. It was deeply buried, just about nine inches. It had hit like a silver quarter at a steady 12-47, even after it was out of the ground. It's in very good shape too. There is no rattling inside. No Angie, I haven't opened it.
An interesting find to say the least.
The silver ring too is from the first park.
I also dug this thingamajig from the first park, just a few feet from where I dug the compact and Merry Widow tin. Any ideas as to what it may be?
At the second park I dug this second compact. No, Angie, I haven't opened this one either.
This skull ring was on the ground, recently lost apparently. I couldn't just leave it there.
And here is the silver of the day, a 1935 Washington quarter, a 1916 Barber dime, one mercury dime, dated 1926, and a seated dime, dated 1853.
And yes, both parks yielded several wheat cents too, some dated in the teens.
HH!

That is the ugliest ring I have ever seen! Perhaps only to be beaten in ugliness by the other skull ring you found!

Great hunt, After seeing that seated, I'm almost ready to hit a park with my monster coil
