My treasure hunting pals and I sometimes hit one of the local parks for an hour or two after working third shift at the factory, well Thursday was the day this time.
In my first hole I dug a pull tab and following the advise I got on this board I passed the coil over my hole and got a silver hit.With a tiny bit more digging I came up with a 1928 Standing Liberty Quarter! It was standing on edge leaning on a tree root.
With a quick pass around to show off I set back to swinging coil and came up with a weird find ; a skeleton foot of a bird with a metal band on the leg bone. (I don't know if someone would like to be contacted about it's wereabouts or not).
After a few clad coin hits I got a hit that sounded like a pull tab ; with my dig everything policy (even though I had dug at least a dozen pull tabs already today) I dug. At about 4.5" I found my first GOLD ring.It is a 10 karat class ring in very good shape.
Our groups policy is that if you can identify the owner it needs to be returned so I went on line and found the address of the owner and I put it in the mail to him today.I know if I was him I'd be thrilled to get it back.
I have to admit I did look up how much I could get for it and it would have been a nice down payment for a better detector....
