2005 was only my second full year of detecting and I think I'll be hard pressed to do better but I'll try. I spent most of my time water hunting but did do some land hunting when the chance came. I appreciate all the help and advice I've received on this forum but most of all enjoyed the chance to meet some of you in person and do a little hunting and look forward to meeting more of you in the future.
92 Gold rings
36 Silver rings
8 Walking half's
1 Franklin half
1 Barber half
1 Barber quarter
5 SLQs
9 Washington quarters
2 Barber dimes
16 Merc dimes
14 Rosies
4 V nickels
25 Buffalo nickels
the nickels mostly came while water hunting and most of the half's. The others were from land hunting and in good shape. Also found about 11.00 in silver but was in such bad shape I sent it off to be melted.One of my favorites is large plain wedding band in 18kt that weighs in at 11.5 grams, but I really like any that have dates inscribed or different touch marks
First pic is of the Silver rings

I tried to group the gold rings according to style except the last group which are odd gold rings or damaged.I think They're all in here but had trouble tracking down the ones the Mrs. snagged.
First 2 pics are of class rings with one that didn't make the pic.
