Well-known member
Finds are from a few weekend hunts real close to home and some hunting in South Dakota last weekend after it snowed here.
All finds were found with my Minelab eTrac metal detector at public sites.
The gold class ring was an absolute surprise of course and made my day of course. It appears to be 1956 and cleaned up very well.
This came out of a real small town Minnesota city park close to home. The town probably has < 40 people.
Also pulled there was an older brass 'Good For 5 cents' confectionary token and an 1899 V nickel @ 10-11 inches deep.
The other aluminum tokens were way deep also and the degraded condition of them is evident of that. They were 9-11 inches deep. The last one was a ghost of a signal, so I was lucky to snag that one.
The black Onyx ring, the eagle or falcon ring and the smaller ring with stones are all sterling silver. The black Onyx ring was very masked in junk but the high tone seeped through.
The brass spinner token was found right next to a tree and probably dates to the 1950s. The group shot picture shows the top side of it.
As always thanks for looking!
