A ring and large cent

[goldbill]

There is a place near me that I have had my eye on for several years ..It is beside a stream waterfall. Way way back before roads, the waterways were the roads and these falls were always a portage. One side of the stream is fairly flat ,,,,maybe a good place to camp? Last year new owners started a truck farm/garden and plowed about two acres on the flat.Stopped in today ,Introduced myself and asked the owner if I could metal detect his garden spot ..He had no problem on one condition. If I found a large men's silver ring would I return it to him? Absolutely I said do you have any idea of a general area where it might be? He said no . Well if you had to guess? He thought maybe on the right hand side. Turns out he was right on ,It was just under the grass came through nice and loud. Later found the large cent and a broach (costume I think) I think the large is a George because it is larger than the large cent I found scrubbed in the river. It is a toast so I might as well call it a George right.....My third pic I was trying to show it under the scrubber When I went to return the ring only the housekeeper was there but she was excited about the ring.I'm pretty sure I will be able to detect most of that farm!!! I'm thinking just after he plows this spring.. thanks for looking...Goldbill

Ya We are .I do dig a truck load of bottle caps also ,but if I get anything in the 80's I just dig because I know I would always wonder if I didn't..I have made myself a little project of cleaning every signal out of a little park near me .I know a gentleman found a gold coin there 15 years ago. I have two gallons of flip tops so far but a little at a time and just maybe.. Bill

You are about due for a gold coin Bill, it sounds like you have paid your dues.
