Today I was able to get in about four hours of detecting, spending my time at three MA sites which are relatively close to each other. The first site yielded a beautiful 1821 Capped Bust dime and a 1926 mercury dime. I had to leave the site soon after digging the merc, since it was getting much too busy. :rolleyes: I then headed to the second location where I dug up a 1942 mercury dime and a neat sterling silver ring. Finally before heading home I stopped at the third site, and from there I picked up a 1916 and 1944 mercury dime.

She sure is beautiful! :smitten: It's my second Capped Bust dime this month. :cheesysmile:

It's that supposed to be Bambi on the ring? :confused: I'm not quite sure about the second marking. It appears to be cwop or owop.

The markings on the ring could be copyright walt disney productions. Just a thought. By the way nice capped bust dime. What I would do to find one of those. :cheesysmile:

The ring is actually silver. The seeming flaking is actually Bambi's paint job peeling off. :yes:

The rain has helped for sure. The ground at many of the sites I hunt had been turning dry and powdery, so a little moisture didn't hurt. :thumbsup01:
 
I think you should clean up that bambi ring and wear it every day :lol:

Beautiful dime! Another great hunt :yes:
 
ok angel you are officially making everyone of us on this forum look really bad :hammer: :hammer:
just amazing! :clapping: :clapping: :clapping: :clapping: :clapping:
oh and by the way...stop being lazy and show us cleaned up pics as well! :rofl:
 
Sweet looking Bust dime. That one is an 1821 Large Date variety. Two in one year would be a great accomplishment, but one month?? :shocked04: :shocked04: I didn't even notice anything else you found :lol: Nice hunt!!
 
Actually, Angel, the Bambi ring is your best find of the day. It's from the 1950's and worth between $35 and $75 depending on condition! Disney produced sterling rings of all the cartoon characters in the 50's.
