You guys don't forget to hunt the "hardpan" in old gravel areas.
In the photo is where I hunted on sunday and it was good for a 1960 silver rosie and some modern clad.
I like hunting those old gravel parking lot areas because the coins will be very close to the surface.
You have to outsmart the guys who hunted before you

Thanks for sharing the google map views. It makes it so much easier to picture what people are talking about.
The 1899 Canadian dime I found in Boren Park in Seattle which dates back to the 1880's.
The other dimes I found in the early 1990's using Fisher CZ's.
Lots of 1923s and 24s and 26s Mercs
I still have every silver dime that I have ever found too... even the rosies
The grey tarnished ones I found in the lakes, the silverish ones I found on land.
Silver coins come out a lot prettier when found on land.
In the early 1990's me and a friend would go hunting together 3 to 4 times a week in the Seattle area.
We hunted parks, parking strips, house yards etc.
My friend used a Garrett GTA and I was using a CZ-5 and CZ-6a back then.
Both of us found lots of silver.
We were digging up silver halves in Seattle Parks like there was no tomorrow
And there is still lots more out there left to find.!

1928s - - 1920s - - 1917d - - 1930s
These are very hard to find in high quality condition because their dates were high up on the coin and wore down at a fast rate.
I remember finding that 1930s at Madison Park in Seattle.
Madison Park dates back to the early 1870's
That 30s was at least 8" deep in some grass close to the lake.
But I just kept digging in the hopes that it wasn't a deep nail.
I hope I don't get in trouble for posting nude photos. LOL

Let's go to the subject of rings now...
In the early 1990's when my friend and I were hunting together we found lots of silver rings on land.
And of course I was finding them in the lakes also.
But we are just going to discuss rings lost on land here.
Us guys would find an occasional gold ring on land if we decided to dig a "junk" signal.
But since there were so many high coin signals back then we bypassed the gold ring "junk" signals
and cherry picked the silver readings with our I.D. meters.
To this day this is what most hunters do.
So what does this mean?
It means that if I can find 500 silver rings on land by cherry picking with my I.D. meter that there are many gold rings left out there to be found.
This is the main reason why I got me a Fisher F44.... to find the elusive gold rings that are out there waiting to be found.
Most gold rings lost on land are small and have been lost by women.
Small gold rings lost on land are harder to find simply because they are harder to see after they have been lost.
And women wear more gold jewelry then men.
Therefore... I know where most of the gold rings that are out there right now read out on the F44.
On the F44 they read out in the 20 to 40 range.
So every time I go hunting now... every signal in the 20 to 40 range I'm digging.
As far as those sterling silver rings go that I posted....
Two cub scout rings from the 1950's
There is a silver ring with ivory
A World War I crossed cannons ring
Several rings have silver & gold both in them

Research is a lot of fun on EB*Y.
Just type in your city and then the word "postcard" to get old photos.
Or you can type in "seattle postcard madison" which is what I did because Madison Park and Madison St. are very old areas in Seattle.
Then you just download the photo by right clicking on it.
At some point you can even burn all your photos to a CD.
Here is a cool 1907 street photo of Seattle
