no gold, small silver ring, lots of clad

The wife was leaving for the weekend to go visit her daughter who lives a couple of hours away. As she left the house she said, " You get to metal detect all you want and I won't be here to bother you about it." I thought to myself, " Now how did she know what I was thinking ?" Hunted for a few hours that evening ( Friday evening ), found the small silver ring, a '45 wheat, and clad. Hunted a sports field that is about 10 minutes away.

Saturday afternoon went out again to another sports field about an hour away. All clad, but there was a lot, $10.84 worth. Hunted about three hours and I was getting tired from all the getting up and down. After awhile, I quit digging the zinc signals and focused on other targets.

Sunday afternoon, out again to a tot lot and a fairgrounds. Did good at the tot lot, over 5 bucks of clad and another buck and a half at the fairgrounds. Dug a fair amount of trash at each location, looking for the gold and silver, but only came away with the silver ring from Friday evening.

197 coins, $21.23 if I counted correctly. 51 quarters, 70 dimes, 18 nickels, 58 pennies. F70, 11" coil, low disc, medium sens, -3 thresh, 3 tones, notch out iron.

That is a pretty good clad haul. All that clad is bound to lead you onto a gold ring or three.

Mike, thanks. I've been in a gold slump for quite some time so maybe my time is getting near. I'm digging lots of can slaw and pull tabs, foil, etc.
 
attackcat1, I was using the Fisher F70. The coins in the picture are from three separate hunts, each one about 2-3 hours long.
 
And that silver ring looks like a beauty. It deserves a closeup view. :)
 
That is a bodacious amount of clad coins - very respectful haul & congrats to you on your finds, anyway thanks for sharing your pictures and post & I wish you many more while out dirt fishing.

Nice finds and what a work out ------------------after1---------------PS -The little lady knows everything----
 
Thanks. I found a few silver rings myself but never with rocks all around. Nice !
 
That is a bunch of clad! Congrats! My thinking on the gold (I am also in a 'gold slump' and I have many friends that are as well) is that I figure that there are fewer gold rings lost, and especially the small ones like the kids wear, since we are in an economic slump. Seems like the two go together. I bet that when our economy gets better the gold finds will pick up. That is, IF our economy is able to get better!
