:usaflag:Finally...my first ring.

[MNCoinhunter]

I returned once again to that 1905 city park, except this time I had the Sniper on. Got about 3 hours in and found about $2 in clad..no silver yet though...seems to be eluding me. Found this ring about two inches down. No markings on it..looks like silver though..and we can't identify what is set in it.

Anyways...I'm hitting an old house later today. Nothing but the foundation and chimney left..will have pictures of that adventure. Happy sunday !

Sure looks like silver. Did it ring up in the silver area? You can buy a small bottle of silver test solution for around 3 bucks. I always have some on hand.

Congrats on the nice ring find .
You have to hunt for those places least obvious in the parks sometimes . I have hunted a park for three years that was built in 1926 and hadn't found any silver except a war nickel . About a month ago I went to the far end of the park that is not used cause its on a good sized hill that is out of the way and can't be gotten too except by walking and has no picnic area's any where on it . I ended up digging a 1944 mercury and a 1940 nickel on that hill . My hunting buddy hunted a patch of grass at the far edge of the same park that isn't used for anything ether and he dug a standing liberty quarter there . Point is we had only been hitting the hard used area's before , I learned a valuable lesson there this year .

Yeah..it chimed in at a strong quarter, which is what I was expecting to find in the plug.

It might be an opal but it looks like it was painted over with something. I might try cleaning it off.

And the area of the park I was working is in fact the older and least used part for most of the year.

Yeah I wrote an article years ago about hunting those "not so obvious" areas and how productive they can be. Lots of beeper swingers skip right over them. I once hunted a two foot wide patch of grass between the sidewalk and driveway of a school that ran from the front of the school out to the main road. It was loaded. I hunted a plot of grass in front of the entrance to a high school auditorium years ago and in two trips pulled up $31.00 in coins plus three gold rings ( two 14 KT, one 18 KT ) , a gold bracelet watch, solid silver bracelet, and some other trinkets I can't recall at the moment. It just didn't look promising to every other beeper swinger.
