Thursday began with a 1941 D, she's been used but not abused! I was getting mostly signals that bounced from iron to the coin range and I was hardly moving to isolate what may be a goodie next to iron. Any audio overshoot or edge effect from iron was checked from all sides. You know how sometimes ya get careless? I plunged my digger off to the side of the signal levered it up and a pile of stuff flipped and the 1/2 was beside the hole. Fortunately I didn't damage it.
I dug the iron signal next to it and got a large nut that is heavy and more than an inch square. It's the third walker from the same site within a week.
5 silver coins and everything you see here are from Thursday's four hour beep n dig fest.
The little 10 K ring
was made in Providence RI by OB Jewelry Ostby and Barton Gold Rings. I have the stone that came out while cleaning it up. The ID bracelet is the heaviest one I've found.
It is engraved on the reverse "NANCY 1948" but I can't make out the owner / recipient on the front. Wheats to the right of the pic, memorial cents and clad dimes on the lower left. A couple of Indian nickels are in there. Lots of curiosities turned up incl the "Firestone" tag with "Jerry" on it. It has the just "Jerry" on the other side.
Anyone know more about the Firestone tag? All finds were made with my ATP & a small 5x8" coil in an iron infested site. Nails, bolts & screws in plain sight lots more beneath the surface with large iron in all forms, pipes, pieces of sign posts, bolts, oar locks and more. I've been going over this site with both the ATP & V3i fitted with the eclipse 6x10". In addition to digging out some iron I may try a 5" coil on my Sov GT, I'm concerned anything bigger, even the S8 may cause too much nulling there. It's a long walk to carry two detectors but doable.
This is turning out to be one of my best months. I count a month as the time between detecting club meetings.
32 silver coins incl 3 walkers, 6 silver rings, 4 gold rings and plenty of nice surprises like that big sterling ID bracelet quickly come to mind. Days like I've recently had never get old.
