    Last weekend after rain hunt gold/silver

    Last weekend we got some rain so went detecting with my hunting friend Rob aka tech125 |. We detected one of my favorite middle schools for jewelry. Got nice deep dime signal about 8 inches down and I was very suprised when i got this 1902 barber dime. School is not that old . After finding lots of clad and two silver rings got very jumpy signal going from dime to pull tab about 7 inches down. I was thinking silver but something much better was shinning down in the hole my first gold class ring for this year and it is big one too,15 grams of 10KT. There are inicials inside with first name on the side of the ring and school so now I just need to see if I can find the owner. Year on the ring is 1989. After that finished hunt with silver and gold heart pendant |. Thanks for looking and HH. Mike
