F4 Gets Me a Wheat and a Silver Ring

[DrJoeprime]

Ahhh ... it doesn't get too much better than this!

Well, maybe.... it does get a little better...like maybe a Merc or SLQ...BUT I am mighty happy with my 1942 S Wheat and my ovalated .925 Silver Ring.

Both were found within 5 feet of my car where I parked at Rec Park (Long Beach) . They were both less than 2" deep and rang up at 72 on my Fisher F4.

The Wheat is really in very nice shape...my last 5 wheats from the dump site were so cruddy I could only date 1 of them.

I am lucky the ring was shallow because I know a certain detectorist's got ALL the deep Silver already. Also got the usual clad "battery money" but that is hardly too exciting anymore.


So after a 2 month dry spell I got 2 rings in 3 days...Yep..I'm happy!

HH, Joe

I still remember my first silver ring, like yours it has a cross. I had finished detecting a small beach and on the way back to the car got a hit next to the path to the parking areas and there it was.

Very nice.
Whats the going price for silver these days.
Seems like SIlver is all I ever find. Did find
one gold wedding band though.
