Went out for a long hunt today. My fourth this week with the new Garrett ATPro. And I bagged a 1940 George VI Canadian dime!

Lets start with the junkite...

Then the junk jewelry...Aluminum ring, gave me a scare...was gold colored when it popped out. But the moment I picked it up...weighed like air. :thumbdown:
The copper bracelet is a kids boy scout one I think, the picture sucks, the macro won't focus cause its dark colored. It has arrows, etc on it.

The coins! 2 quarters, one is a memorial 1873-1973 Mountie quarter. 2 dimes, a 1997 clad Rosey and the 1940 silver. 24 pennies, including a 1944 Canadian penny(won't focus) and 2 American clad.

Also got a gaming token for an arcade.

And last but not least the silver! Value is only $1.75 and then I noticed I nicked it.... :cry:
So i shrugged and polished it up with baking soda and its going in my collection as #1 silver found.

GL & HH all!
 
Does anybody know exactly where those :rant: "aluminium" or brass or whatever they're made of, wedding band looking rings come from? They all seem to have the same pattern cut into them.

They look to well made to come from Cracker Jacks, and I haven't seen anything that looks like it in a gumball type machine.

I bet I've found 15 of them this year. :cry:

They sure set you up for letting the wind out of your sails.........:rofl:
 
Good one on the silver.:thumbup:
Looks pretty minty !
Many other blings also.
 
Thanks all!
 
Good digs...I hate when I scratch coins...been doing a lot less of that with the Pro Pointer being used now...

HH,
 
Nice hunt! So far I've only nicked some clad.......wait, that's mostly what I've found!! Really glad I didn't nick the 1905 Indian though.
 
Good finds for sure. Don't feel bad about the nicked coin, it will happen! I make sure that when I get a signal that sounds like silver, especially deep silver, I take extra care with retrieving the target. I dug a nearly uncirculated 1913 Canadian dime this year and I nearly puked when I saw that I had nicked it!
