I got out for ~ 3.5 hours this am. It warmed up nicely and I had to remve a layer of clothing. I was going real slow...embarisingly slow as I didn't want to miss anything. I dug a few nails that really fooled me. I mean digging it deep and hearing a null with the probe but still a hint of hi tone possibilities. A rescan with the coil and a nice tone remains onlt to find the undesired culprit tom foolery!
Nonetheless, we dedicated detectorists continue on saying to ourselves ok the next signal I dig needs to be a definite coin, only to do the same thing. A few times it turned out good like on these 2 silvers and the couple wheats.
I got a signal on the fringe of copper/silver and spent a lot of time locating the sound due to the iron around it. I never did pinpont this sucker even after about 2.5 minutes. I dug down about 5 and ran my probe thru. In the side was a large item and I figured I had an old piece of copperb ut when i touched the probe to it, no sound. So in the hole I hear my target and it's definately a penny. Out comes this ring. I examined it for a few minutes, put it in the pouch and continued on.
I said to myself, self, when I get home, I will go with whatever my wife says, 'cause she's been rights every time I had a ring. I already figured she would identify it as junk in a few seconds, but this time was different. SHe looked and said I think it's real! SHe made specific commets about the setting, brilliance and finally, we ran it across a mirror and the mirrore was left with a scratch. Naturally, I will bring this to a jewler for confirmation, but me thinks this one is real!
Coming up as a copper penny at 7 25, Iam a bit surprised myself/
I am still working the old park that has given up some silver, IH's, the 1812 button and now this....guess I'll be there again.
Don't know if there's a resident jewler lurking here as good as the coin experts, but please chime in if you know something I don't/
