Had about an hour and a half to burn, so I went back to old faithful and she had more to offer. Unfortunately after digging several iffy signals, I hit what was a solid 12-44. I Put the E into pinpoint and the area was littered with junk and several 12-43/44 hits. I'm relating the hits to the copper nails I dig in several areas of the park. As I scanned the target a 12-35/36 pops up and disappears for a brief second as the copper surrounding throws the E back to a 12-44. I once again pin point and bet on the most secluded sound and dug. To my surprise out pops a 2" long piece of 10 gauge copper wire. I was not shocked as there are several targets that end up being copper nails. I probed the hole and at the bottom came a firm 12-36 and I knew it was good, especially at 7". Pulled the small handful of dirt out of the hole and there it was, my injured Indian :cry: My so want to dig and not paying attention to what the E was saying caused me to hit it and it pi$!es me off. This is a lesson for me and hopefully for those who are reading. It's a 1907, nothing special date wise but for me it's very special and too cocky as minutes before I dug the 1905 O barber. The ring was the final target that is junk, but a ring none the less and it too was 7"+ deep and would think to be older.

Thank you for looking,

Could have been worse. Imagine if you had been off pinpointing an 1877 Indian :cry:...
 
I feel your frustration Moose. No matter how hard we try. Thanks for the pictures.

sorry bud,,,, lesson learned
 
I wouldnt count on the ring being junk.... I have found a couple of old rings like that in 6-9k Gold that have the copper oxidized turning them dark.
 
Thanks all, Burlbark I will check with local dealer as to weather or not the ring is junk or not. I built his cabin in upper Mi. so I think he will throw me a quick yes or no for nothing. I hope.!!! lol

That does hurt, but like ZO said...it could have been a 1877. Know that don't help but we've all tagged one or two in the past. Thx for the pic's and HH
