Best of the weekend - SLQ, silver ring

[kschae4]

Hey, as long as it's above freezing, it's worth getting out there. Weekend high temps here in the North Jersey shore area ranged from 50 on Friday,down to 39 today.
The '25 & '27 wheaties (tid 37),buttons were in sandy soil, easy digging 6-7 inches.
The SLQ , (tid 38-39- guessing a 1927?) was in a mix of gravel and sand at just 5 inches,which explains the wear on the obverse. I did a no-no and used baking to clean it up a bit (but I keep all my recovered silver anyway. Ring weighed in at 38-39. Brass key-thingy and conical sphere were dead on 38. All clad quarters were 38. Funky imitation gold "plated" quarter,caused my heart to skip a beat, also rang in at 38. Stats- low density/cross saved coin to relic/ auto sens. Thanks for viewing.

WTG, nice hunt. I wish I could say I did as well today; three pennies, a thumb tack, and a lot of frustration, that's it for me.

That stuff looks much better all cleaned up. It was great to get out and the weather was very tolerable. I should have some pics up soon. Great finds Nice hunting!

Thanks guys, wanted to take advantage of the decent weather before the inevitable freeze sets in, Of course, the trade-off is missing some football, but the benefits of swinging the coil trump the couch potato syndrome almost everytime.
