First time out for 2010

[MeMatt]

I hadn't been detecting since November, so it was great just being out there again after all this time
I only had a couple hours, so I went to a spot I've hunted for years. The finds are not as numerous as years ago, but there's
always the chance to get a little silver

The first keeper I got sounded off loud and clear. Figured it was junk before I dug because it was big and shallow.
Nothin spectacular, but will probably look good in a display.

Well, It was great to find silver the first time out. It was great just to be detecting again
Hope you all can get get out there yourselves.
HH All,
Matt

The stone seems to have a vertical white line that moves when you move the ring back and forth.

I just don't know much about stones

These pics, although unfocused, are pretty close to its true color. You can see the white line in the middle I mentioned.

Thanks,
Matt

[size=large]The "stone" is actually the polished "eye tooth" from an elk. The jeweler said it was worth about $140.00. Yours looks like the same. Nice find. Do a search on; Elk eye tooth.
