Had a couple of productive hunts over the weekend. A 1947 Roosie from a city park that rarely gives up any silver. That one was masked by a pulltab in the same hole. One of the indian heads also had a beaver tale in there masking the signal. A real surprise was the 18K band I dug yesterday out with Park Pirate. A little research revealed that the XXX hallmark with a sideways W meant it was from the J.R. Wood and Sons Jewelers from Brooklyn, NY. The XXX stand for 18K. Dug a pair of 1897 indian head cents in nice shape and a corroded 1881. Park Pirate dug a couple of keepers also.
