Wish I could post a picture but the wife's out of town with the camera. That's my excuse and I'm stickin' to it!

Anyway me, the AT-Pro and the new 5x8 tried out a new park today. Got a large men's sterling ring in the parking lot. Almost sounded like a ring type pull tab with a double tap and ID'ed at 52. Decided to go for it and scored.

Best of the day though was a solid penny hit in the sandy soil in the playground among the bottle caps and foil. This park ain't exactly in the high rent district and there was abundent trash and crack bags. But it rang solid in between the trash noise and a slow wiggle confirmed it. Came up easy and got ready to toss it in the pouch but a quick look and I did a double take. A 1905 Indian Head! In great condition, I'm wondering if it's a fairly recent drop. Woo Hoo! Lady, how did you get here!!!

The parks around here have lot's of competition and I'm finding I'm getting deeper stuff with this coil than the cherry pickers who've been before me I think.

I love this hobby....
 
Nice job on the Indian. :thumbup: Those rings can sound like trash, especially gold ones. Good job on the silver ring. :clapping:
 
Now go back and look real close at that large silver ring........the VDI should not be 52 on a Large Silver Ring..more like mid 80's up....but I like the VDI #'s.........make sure it's not white gold, or Platinium :yikes:

Ring is stamped Stirling, it was in with a lot of aluminum neighbors. Kinda wonder if it's maybe German silver with a bogus stirling stamp?
 
Aha!!! Must have been a brain fart on my part remembering the number? Just ran it under the coil and got a 92. I remember thinking it looked like a pull tab in the ground. Must be my brain is gettin' old?
 
You the man with that new coil...Nice finds sailorman !!!
AT-PRO AND THE NEW 5X8 COIL..."IT JUST DON'T GET ANY BETTER" !!
 
Love it! If you think the big DD coil is good for weeding through trash wait until you try the 5x8! Having the DD configuration and a little smaller is great in the trash.
