Awesome weekend gold and silver key date largie!

Well-known member
I have been very busy around the house painting inside and getting my skiff ready,
So I was at a new to me school and one of my first coins was a 1946 Washington! As I was digging that my friend was digging a 1964 crazy. I was helping at the church and right after I went back in the afternoon and decided to use my tried and true strategy working the edges.
I found some clad and a wheat cent as I was working my way towards the baseball field and I had a great 32-33 on equinox all the way around I thought for sure a silver half? Nope a clad half!
So I continued around the back of home plate and I had a great mid tone 16 almost did not dig it!
When I cut the plug and flipped it nothing in the plug it was dead center and I saw the gold rim!
My first class ring this year 1968! Then about 5 minutes later I found the small sterling ring with a R engraved in it two rings back to back !
I also found a key date large cent 1811 260,000 minted and 1 Buffalo no date.
What a great afternoon so my friend Dave and son Dave Jr showed up he was filming and I was on a small hill behind the school and I had another 32-33! Wow I knew it was another half when I dug it it was right on the side of the hole another Kennedy half! I also found two old flat buttons and some junk jewelry .

Sounds like a great day, it's great when it all comes together. :detecting:
 
You are doing well! Waiting for rain here again. Went to a local park and got some newer stuff. But as I said before,I would rather not go out if my holes could kill the grass! I have a lot of catching up to do!
