I had my best silver day ever on Saturday. I went back to the old park that I had been working and as usual just focused on the deep signals. All of the snow melted the day before which made the conditions a bit sloppy but the temps were about 60 and it was still February I was not complaining!
I found 10 wheats, 2 sterling rings, a no date Buff, 1943 P War nik, 1935, 1941 and 1944 mercs, 1914 D and 1911 Barber dimes. The 1945 Washington I dug the day before during my lunch break. The "musketball" I also dug but it really does not have the white patina that I think it should have so I am not convinced it is that old...it is lead for sure though.

The barber dimes came in back to back holes about 3 ft from each other. That was a nice rush!

I think the monogram silver ring is my favorite find. It does not have a markers or sterling mark on it but it is pretty worn. I found it about 10 inches deep in a park that dates back to at least 1876. No way to prove how old it is but I would not be surprised if it is from the late 1800's.

Well looks like the colder weather might settle back in...but all of these beauties will keep me warm until I can get out again!
Thanks for lookin!
