Spent a couple of hours at a state park

[Sandtick]

Had some free time and decided to hunt some camp sites. There is so much trash I had to notch out everything below tabs just to be able to walk more then a foot or two. I figured if I hit on any coins I would notch my disc back down and recheck the area.
Worked our pretty good. Found 97 cents in change and two rings. One of them is junk and the other is silver.

Yes, that silver ring is neat. It has a light purple stone in it. Not sure what it could be.

Now your back is the one that has to be hurting that is a lot of digging. Nice rings too. I dug about 15 pull tabs today.

Nicely done, Sandtick.

Here is Missouri, we can hunt only certain State Parks, and ONLY beach areas. You must get a permit to hunt from the DNR. They are really nice about granting it, but it is pretty restrictive, if you want to get right down to it.

from Missouri DNR detecting permit.....

"Permittee can operate a metal detector ONLY on designated beaches in the following state parks:

Sandy, that pic on the left has a strangely familiar look to it.

It could easily have come from any park here in Australia.

Junk seems to be the same the world over.

That silver ring wouldn't last long around here with my three grandaughters eyeing it off.

Nice work! Congrats on the silver! What machine are you using on the dirt? Your beach machine?

Thanks everyone.
7centsworth - yes my back was a little sore that evening for sure, but it was a fun couple of hours.

Mike - I'm going to take that ring to my buddy who owns a jewelry store and have him take a look at the stone.

Nester - Our state parks are not as restrictive. But each park determines where you can and can't detect. The dnr site has a map of each park with highlited areas that are o.k. To hunt.

C.Nyal - I love areas like this. A lot of work but fun. My wife already tried this little ring on, but I think she likes gold more. Too bad I'm not finding any for her.

Mud - Thanks. I'm using a Tesoro Vaquero, but I'm still learning it. Not sure about this machine. Something in my mind keeps me visiting Garrett's site looking at the AT Pro.

That Tesoro Vaquero is one awesome little detector! Great beach machine that goes deep. Had one years ago & still wish I had kept it. Just might buy another one someday.
