Got out this morning with my son Carson and hunted a 1950's school . I was hoping for some silver and I got it on the 2nd target . It was a +83 VDI at 8 inches and when I dug it I was surprised to see a ring :clapping: . It is my first big chief ring in 16 years of detecting . I have always wanted to find one and this a cool looking chief . It's marked sterling and looks like it has been in the dirt many years . All the targets were at 6-8 inches and the coins all dated from the early 60's and three from the 50's but no silver coins this time . The one wheat is a 195:clapping: the other two 50's are a 1959D Memorial and a 1957D nickel . I also found a junk ring on my last dig of the hunt . Carson found one junk ring , it's the gold colored one thumbsup01 . Total clad for about 2 hours was $3.66 and $1.95 for Carson . :grin:

Nice finds thumbsup01 Does that chief have Viking horns? lol The ring count continues. I can not find the number of rings you find in one year even if I hunt for 50 years :hairpulling: Carson's ring looks like anodized aluminum. I bet it makes you jump when you first see it in the hole. :shocked04:

You seem to be on a roll with some 1st's this season. Very nice Indian Chief ring. Everytime I dig a 1958 wheat I always say that it could have been the very last one minted...... :detecting:
